yah, Im having an issue with my Titan 575 only 3 years old. About once a week turn the key and you can hear everything work but it does not turn over. Run a long jumper cable to the van battery. Had this happen with my Prochem Apex (same Kubota engine) and we replaced the starter and that solved it. Thinking of doing the same on this one. (new TM battery did not solve it)

I was always told not to start the dead battery while the van engine is running

Was the transit running when you turned the key over on your 370?

I was told it puts a heavy pull on the alternator, causing early wear. I don’t know the facts. Just been advised from old mechanics
