I have a '97 Kubota L3600 that will not shut off when I turn the key to the off position.
The kill knob can be pulled out right next to the key which shuts off the air to the engine, taht works just fine.
Any idea where I can start to trouble shoot the problem? I'm inclined to believe that there is some sort of celenoid that is activated by the key to shut off the air. Maybe I should start there?

It's probably a fuse. Either one is blown or the connection is dirty. I had this happen to me on my L4200 and I just cleaned the fuses and it fixed it.

npaden is probably right, check the fuse… By the way the kill knob or the solenoid do not choke off the air… they shut off the fuel at the injector pump. KennyV.

I agree, use a voltmeter to check the voltage across the fuel cut-off solenoid on the injection pump, in both the key "on" & "off" positions (without the engine running). That will tell you if it's getting proper switched power. If that looks good, you can check the solenoid itself by (carefully) jumpering from the battery + terminal to the solenoid's post - listen for it to click on & off as you touch the jumper to the post. If it's stuck open, it won't do anything.
