It was fixed I put in a new starter and fixed a bad wire starts like a new machine now.

I think its a cheap aftermarket starter records show it was replaced in 2019 I bought a replacement when it gets here I will change it out and disassemble the old one and see whats up.

I just bought a nice case 1838 with the V2203 kubota engine from a municipality they had replaced the starter not to long ago and it wont engage the flywheel until the key has been cycled two or three times. It hits the flywheel each time the key is cycled and usually it will engage after the...

I have a L175 and need to rent a post hole auger to set 50 fence posts the ground is really dry so a two man auger wont do the job. Most places around here are all bobcat machines are there any brands whos quick attach augers will work on my machine?

Update: Turned out to be the starter was surprised when I unbolted the bottom bolt and the ground strap was not attached to anything. I do not want to do this again replacing the starter in a cold garage with the arms of the machine in the down position. Had to reach around the hydraulic...

Ok that will be my next thing I check if the battery were shorted out would it just shut down everything on the display in the machine like it has done. The only thing that's a bit funny is jumping the power from the large terminal on the solenoid to the spade where the wire hooks to to actuate...

Thanks for the suggestion I went through all the things you brought up and Im pretty sure that's not where my problem lies.

I did a little more poking around today I went and disconnected the white wire from starter solenoid went into the machine and sat in the seat and as the previous post pointed out everything went through its usual routine. The glow plugs cycled and the fuel pump was running. I turned the key and...

Update: I had time to go through some of the electrical system today the battery checks out good. I pulled the fuses and no bad ones odd thing before I pulled the 5 amp fuse when I turned the key on it wouldn't do anything. After pulling the 5 amp fuse and putting it back in when I turned the...

Didn't check it yet usually battery makes multiple clicks when weak but it needs to be checked to rule it out.

I had a fuel gelling issue yesterday the machine would start and not run steady past half throttle. I went and got the proper anti gel today poured it in the tank got back in the seat turned the key. The glow plugs activated and the fuel pump was running glow plugs shut off then I turned the key...

Turned out to be a bad alternator had it checked at NAPA after I checked it myself with a voltage meter in the machine. Its no wonder it went out as packed full of dirt and crap as it was. Next project drop the belly pan and clean that out.

Ok thanks I will start there.

I am pretty happy with my machine it has worked pretty well for me so far I had to replace a battery with a dead cell so far that's has been it for repairs. Lately the battery has not been getting charged after a while using it and multiple starts it will go down to the point of not having...

I have a L175 with a little over 3500 hours on it lately it has been sounding an alarm the screen reads 11.5 volts. It does not do it all the time and it does not matter what the RPM is at when it sounds off. I can turn the machine of momentarily and sometimes it wont come back on. It always...
