I suggest you have the pump professionally rebuilt since you know it has been monkeyed with. This is where I would recommend sending it but you probably have some place in Canada to use. https://oregonfuelinjection.com/

Do you already have the rear valve(s) to control the rear cylinder? I recommend you get both the top and tilt cylinders to control the box blade easily.

You can use a pressure washer but you need to have lower pressure reach the engine so stand back a few feet. It would be better to use a garden hose which is much safer for the tractor. You might try using a foam cannon, I hear they work well to remove dirt with low pressure.

I have no idea on that.

See if you can see what you need from the illustrated parts list https://apps.kubotausa.com/illustrated-parts/

I don’t know where you are in Austin, but this is a great place to have a starter or alternator repaired. Roughly at 35 and Rundberg https://texasalternator.com/

Yes, that or the safety circuit.

One other thing to consider is to give yourself something that helps you get onto the tractor (besides the steering wheel). That may not be a problem now, but as age happens you may find that step up distance grows at an exponential rate as balance decreases in a linear fashion! It looks good!

You can also open that rectangular cover with two bolts (access to the throw out bearing carrier’s grease zerk) to see behind the pressure plate area. There should be a drain plug on the bottom of the bell housing so you can drain that normally dry clutch bell housing. Have you checked your...

So you can shut off your tractor when the electric switch fails!

Looking at Messicks illustrated parts list I found this Looking on the internet I found this more descriptive name = you may have stumbled upon the problem!

There is a PB sleeve that is added into the valve port (Tank return or neutral)

I have a L185 and was able to get the fuse block from the dealer. I looked at yours and it is a different part number and is discontinued. You may want to see if the ~$100 part from the L185 would work or you can probably find a way you repair yours if it is really messed up, it might just...

I don’t know anything about that pump, but what you marked in blue looks like a drain to me. Why do you think it is something electrical?

On some newer tractors that there is a loop back to the injection pump, which I neglected to describe. That seems to be your case but there were a lot of different options for Bx23 and I looked at only one of them.
