The Kubota dealer gave me 2 part numbers 700091510 and 70000-000776, in any case, I am unable to locate a plug for the installation of a block heater (did the 2017 re-design change?). Anyone have any experience with the BX23S since 2017.

Are you looking for threaded plug or freeze plug?

The plug is located in the lower part of the block, midway back on the right-hand side of the tractor.

kxcampbell....I'm where your at with the same exact tractor....BX23S Unfortunately mine does not have the removable threaded plug so I'm forced to opt for the freeze out plug design....Look between the starter and oil filter on the right side and you'll find your answer rather quickly....
