Still Available?

That looks rather similar to how my BH attaches except I have two posts in the area where it shows a sleeve being inserted as on your brackets. Here’s a picture of what mine looks like.

Does anyone know if I can take a GCK 60–23BX grass catcher unit and mount it on my 2021 Kabota BX 23S - 3 point hitch, or use the existing backhoe bracket to mount the material collection system? I found a very lightly used 2008 GCK 60–23BX locally and would like to use it on my tractor if I...

It's fixed! Maybe I made a rookie mistake.... I went back and looked at the owners manual and the WSM and I don't see anywhere a picture showing where the relays are. I mistakenly thought they were on the left side of the tractor behind the housing that conceals the battery. It says STARTER and...

The socket where the starter relay would plug in? How could I test that?

Yes sir, I did that too. Still Hot! I thought for sure removing the relay would kill it!

Good idea. If money wasn't an issue, I would have a brand new machine not a used one! I wanted to see if I was missing anything obvious before I started tearing apart all the nice factory wiring harnesses. That is a really good idea to connect the test light and then jiggle the wires and see if...

I haven't installed the new starter yet because the i discovered the wire to the starter solenoid is hot at all times. I'm trying to trouble shoot that now. Guess i will tear into the wiring harnesses today.

UPDATE #2 I removed the starter relay completely and tested the wire that attaches to the starter solenoid and it STILL has power! Shouldn't it be dead? Its reading 12.4 volts. I can't figure out how this is still hot! The wiring diagrams in the WSM from Kubota books and from the electric...

I had the same thought. Just got back from the dealer and put a new ignition switch in. Same problem...... The wire going to the paddle connection that is on the starter is energized all the time. Its as if it is hot wired directly to the battery! I don't have a clue how that can be happening...

Several dealers, but I am not the original buyer. Talked to several parts people and they have helped out as much as possible.

Update - had a quick break from rain so I was able to find the relays for the starter and headlights. I marked the starter relay and switched it with the headlight one and retested. I still have continuous power being delivered to the starter wire. Does that mean this is definitely a problem...

Looked for similar threads, but didn't find the exact information I was looking for. I have a 2023 (I believe) new to me BX23S with just 33 hours on it. I have started and stopped it many times with no issue. yesterday after moving a trailer with it, I went to shut if off and it restarted twice...
