Kubota M4500–M7500 Series Common Problems This Manual Covers
Engine will not start or cranks weakly
A no start or weak crank on the M4500 through M7500 usually traces to a weak or dead battery, corroded terminals, bad grounds, or a clogged fuel filter. The Maintenance section includes battery and engine troubleshooting charts to isolate the cause.
Manual Section: Maintenance p. 35Hard starting in cold weather
These tractors can be stubborn to start in the cold. The Operation section covers the correct starting and stopping procedure, including starting the engine in cold weather with the preheating system.
Manual Section: Operation p. 19Weak or slow hydraulics
Hydraulics that lift slowly or stall out often mean low fluid, an overdue fluid and filter service, or air in the system. The Maintenance section covers the transmission and hydraulic system service and filter cleaning interval.
Manual Section: Maintenance p. 35Warning lamp comes on
An oil pressure or alternator warning lamp lighting up signals a charging or lubrication fault that needs attention before more running. The Instruments And Controls section explains the warning lamps and what each one indicates.
Manual Section: Instruments And Controls p. 13Fuel contamination or storage problems
Dirty or poorly stored fuel leads to hard starting and rough running. The Fuel And Lubricant Specifications section covers fuel requirements, fuel storage, and filling the tank correctly.
Manual Section: Fuel And Lubricant Specifications p. 29Electrical accessories fail intermittently
Lights, gauges, or accessories that cut out point to a blown fuse, loose wiring, or a bad connection. The Wiring Diagram section maps the head light, flasher, glow plug, alternator, starter, and horn circuits.
