Need Glow Plug Help on L3010

[HarleyBob]

I have a L3010. It is starting fine, but the glow plug light comes on and stays on after starting.
Is their both a Relay and a Controller? What is a Timer?
Does anyone have the part numbers for these? I am not finding both relay and controller at Messicks, just a relay.
However on eBay there is a "Timer" unit for sale when you search Kubota glow plug timer.
Where are they located...for replacement?
Should I replace both?

Controller is under the dash the relay is also there, that relay Rarely goes out or has problems... the controller Often is the problem you are having. KennyV

I still need some help getting the correct part numbers. I could replace Controller first and timer first. Looks like they are two separate items.
Relay would be last...or just replace all three, since I have to open up dash anyway?

I had to replace the controller a couple of years ago for the exact symptoms you are describing. The Kubota tech told me it was very common, he knew exactly what was wrong when I told him the lights wouldn't go off.

So far I have ordered the timer....dealer said that its almost always timer...then controller....
Kevin, did you do the "controller" or "timer?"

The controller.

I had a similar problem - It was a bad controller.

I also had the controller go on an L4310.
