New TN member with lots of questions

robhannan · Dec 8, 2017

I am a new member today. Bought a very nice new Kubota L4701 HST-R1 in Feb 2016 and loved it, but since I am looking to sell my 196 acres in TN I decided to sell it in August while it only had 45 hours. Then, I missed having a tractor so I bought a 1993 Kubota L3450-DT in Alabama with 600+ hours and a front loader and bucket. Runs good and while it has wear and tear, it was a good purchase I think. Here are my problems. I fixed the fuel gauge (connector to sensor top of tank was disconnected), no tail light (bought a new tail and a new rear wiring harness and now got a tail light), hazard lights not working (bought a new rear wiring harness, and a new combination switch for dash, and checked 10A fuse for hazard lights, but still no indication of power flow to the connectors on the wiring harness to the hazard lights). Also, need a SMV bracket to mount the SMV sign. Ordered a new fuel stop solenoid because key off did not stop engine. All advice appreciated. I am bew to diesel and tractors but smart and soak up got advice.

My advice with any electrical issue is to always check all your grounds first...
