Recently bought a 2011 kubota zd331 zero turn.... Replaced the break switch. It will only start with e break off and dies when I pull the arms together to drive forward or backwards. However if I use a wire on the switch to start it, it runs fine no problem.

Sounds like the switch is wired wrong. Since it starts when the e brake is off, yet still is being told to shut down when moving the arms. It thinks the ebrake is off, and on. Do you have photos? Why did you replace it to begin with? Was it doing the exact same thing prior?

Is it a hydrostatic tranmission? If so, sounds like the fluid might be old or not the right viscosity. Recommend changing the trans fluid, and use recommended viscosity of fluid.

SOURCE: Ignition switch

A kubota dealer should be able to print one for you or go on line with model # etc and you should be able to bring one up yourself. I hope this helps. donnyb60

Check the wires to the seat switch. Under the seat you should find 2 wires connected to the seat. Unplug them, and use a jumper on the end that goes into the body of the mower. Try it again, and if it works, replace your seat.

SOURCE: hydrostat trans starting to make moaning noise stops pulling

it may be full of dirt etc and has soaked up most of the oil inside the case, if the axle seals are worn and the selector shaft seal is worn I would say that is the problem, if that is the case you may be up for a new trans as I have done a transaxle just recently and the damage inside was extensive and expensive.
you will have to remove the trans and seperate the trans case for inspection
Hope this helps

I have a 2yr old Kubota zero turn and it has been dieing on me then it will run a second an die again then I would restart it an if I gave it full choke it would run now it won't even start

it is a fuel problem.if it has a fuel pump on it be sure it is pumping fuel. you will need to take the carburetor off and clean it real good. check to be sure there is no water in the fuel tank. i would drain it to be sure.

How can i locate the bad safty switch on mower when i crank and pull in arms the mower dies

Sound like your using a zero turn mower. The brake must be in the off position for you to start moving. If the brake is on then it will die as you describe. Also a bad brake switch can do the same thing.
