1772 Glow Plug Stays On
Just went out to move the tractor in to the barn and the glow plug indicator came on and stayed on despite me switching off the started key. I had to disconnect the battery to turn off the light! any ideas?
I guess I can expect a few teething issues since the tractor remained unused since the 90s until I rescued it from a farm barn last year. |

My guess is the key switch may have seen better days. Not sure on the 1772' s but it may have a Kubota switch, if that's the case your better off buying it from a Kubota dealer than from Cub. I took a look at the Cub parts site, it does have a Kubota switch, here is the Kubota part number 66704-55120 Switch, Key It also shows some sort of timer, no idea what this does but this is the part number for it. 15694-65990 Timer, Light I also sent Oak a PM and asked him to check in on this. I'm sure some of the other diesel gurus will chime in.

Ian,
Sam's correct on the switch. It's a Kubota switch. Just bought one couple months ago for my 1512. Priced it from CC, it was over $60. From Kubota, $29. Same ignition switch. My CC dealer is also a Kubota dealer so my parts guys are great. Roland, Yes, the timer glows the plugs for a set amount of time. When it times out, the glow plug indicator in the dash should go off. If you want to cycle the plugs again, turn the key to the "off" position, then back to the "glow" setting and it starts the cycle over. Ian, When you glow the plugs, you can hear the timer "click" on, then off when it times out. Can you hear it click? Does the glow plug light come on with the key off (when you hooked the battery back up), or does it come on when you glow it, and then stays on? Could be the switch or the timer.

Ian, I'm thinking that the timer was dealer added or installed after they started producing the 1772's because it does not show in any of my schematics.
Here is what the timer looks like. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Cub-Cadet-Ku...item2edf65fff0 This timer only energizes the indicator light and not the glow plugs. I'm thinking that people were not heating the gp's long enough or too long and destroying the plugs so Cub installed the timer to tell them when to start cranking the engine. As others have said, you could have a wiring problem or it could be your timer or switch is bad. I install a 12 volt LED in the dash so I know for sure when 12 volts is on the plugs. I run one of the LED wires to a plug and the other to ground. Josh is right on getting your parts from Kubota and not Cub Cadet.

Hey Todd,
Thanks for the clarification/correction on the timer. I always thought the timer controlled the plugs. Haven't done the glow plug update to the 1772 yet and was wondering how to get around the timer. Guess I don't have to worry now. Always been a good starter! Classic case of not enough coffee this am and too many tractors. I was thinking of the B3300 and the glow plugs/click scenario. Hey, it's a Kubota. Ian, Always price your parts through Kubota on these diesels. If they are Kubota parts, they are almost always cheaper, sometimes quite a bit cheaper, than CC. You'll need to check and see if when the glow plug light is on, that the glow plugs are energized or not. When tractors sit, corrosion occurs, and so do electrical gremlins.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
