Hey Jay, I'll put my .02 cents in, you say its a Kubota so I'm gonna assume its a 3 cylinder and you say it had been starting up until this time however with alot of smoke, so I'm gonna say its a leaking injector, what happens is over time (usually overnight) the bad injector will leak fuel into the cylinder when not running so when you go to start it, it turns over but theres so much fuel in that cylinder it cant burn it not to mention the injector is putting more in there when cranking so you get smoke from where its trying to burn the fuel, eventually when it does start it will smoke for a while until you get that cylinder cleared up. Heres something to try if it has a manual shutoff, like a knob to pull to shut the engine off, pull it out and crank the engine for oh say 10 seconds and give it a chance to expel all that excess fuel then try starting it or if it shuts off with the key find the electrical shut down solenoid and disconnect it and do the same thing. And also some of the other guys talked about the preheaters make sure they are working and use them I work on Bobcats alot that have Kubotas in them if its below about 50 degrees you have to preheat them first time you start them to get them to crank without any problems.
