Anyone have experience with em? I have a jacobsen LF3810 mower and it only starts up when it's 90+ degrees outside, it's a I4 N/a mower. I love the way it works but of recent it's been so hard to start that ive relegated it to storage... I've ordered a new starter for it and some other parts Ie oil sender and a Traction motor rebuild kit to keep the hydro's workin and stop the leak.. any ideas on how the glow plug system works on these things?

not familiar with kubota but my john deere's use yanmar diesels.and use a control module for the glow plugs.if you can reach or have someone help,just put a test light to one of the glow plugs and turn the key on,see if you have power. if you do check the plugs,if not it could be a safety switch not working.my deere has 4. one on the seat,one on the brake pedal,one on the pto switch and one on the hydro lever.if any of these don't work it ain't gonna start.

I have two Kubotas (a 1995 or so BX1800 and a 2005 MX5000) and on both the glow plugs are controlled by the start switch. The BX glows as you are turning the switch to CW, just before it spins the starter...you hold it and glow as long as you need.

The MX5000 has one glow detent on the start switch when you turn it to CCW.

You may have some other problems because neither of my tractors require much if any glow when temps are in 70s much less the 90s.

Well, it wouldnt go in the winter Idk what the temp needs to be I just know it was 90's when it was started... This mower has a Glow button, it's not tied to the starter switch at all, would love it to be tho...
