Kubota rtv x1140

[rblackmon25]

We received a lot of rain the last couple of days and due to low land my Kubota was under water for a couple of days. I am not a mechanic by any means, but would like some ideas on where should I start with repairs. The battery stayed charged, but engine doesn't say anything.

Thanks

How far underwater?

DO NOT try starting until you provide details. Your engine may be hydrolocked!

Again how far under water?
Inside cab?
Over hood?
Over roof?

It matters as different systems are effected by how much of the rig sat in water.
For instances if water got into the cab but only a bit at the floor board, you likely only need to let everything dry out. If it was over the hood or cab, it is likely a total loss as the water has gone throughout all the motor, transmission and all electronics, cost of replacement of these systems is probably greater than replacement cost.
My examples are the 2 extremes just to let you understand why how high water got is important to understand.

Until this assessment is determined, I recommend doing nothing than dragging it out of the mud. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CRANK IT! Flood waters are renown for being nasty dirty, if fluids are contaminated, you do not want that spread through the motor (oil and/or coolant), transmission, differential.
