Hello, I have a 2005 BX23 and it travels faster in reverse then forward in low gear. Can someone explain the process to adjust the forward speed please. Thanks

Russell. I had purchased a new key switch from on line (not kubota) see the one in the photo, i thought i had originally purchased it from my kubota dealer earlier in the year when i had the random no start issue (relay fixed that issue). When i called my local kubota dealer they said no...

Update: New Key switch and glow plugs are now working. Thanks for the help on this challenging issue. I appreciate the knowledge and willingness to share it on this forum. Tony

The switch would not turn off sometimes so I replaced it with a new kubota switch. Is there a way to test the switch to see if I am getting power when I turn to preheat position? I have to spend another $100 for a key switch but it sounds like that’s how the glow plugs get there power. I am...

Update: The light that I thought was the glow plus on the dash was actually the temp sensor light and not the glow plug. So i have no power to the dash light for the glow plugs, checked the voltage. Also check the wire going from the bus strip to the connector that plugs into the key switch and...

Any chance it could be the rectifier, i see a black wire going there from the glow lamp, the lamp doesn't go out unless it starts which it will when its in my garage, tested glow plugs out of the machine and they get hot.

Ok so I tested with a multimeter and confirmed no power to the rail. I took apart some wiring connections under the dash and cleaned them real good, still no success. The wiring harness looks to be in excellent shape as when it left the factory, i hate to undo the wiring harness. Any other...

No didn’t try power when cranking, i will try that tomorrow..THANK YOU.

i have a 2005 BX 23D and I have no power to the rail that runs along the three glow plugs. Where is the fuse located for the glow plugs? The dash light comes on for the glow plugs. It starts fine when its warm out but was chilly this morning and it started but turned over awhile before starting...

That’s it, Amazon has it now for $24,99. Waterproof and LED light. Very easy to install. Let us know if this resolves your Issue please. Thanks

Hello, I had the same issue with my 2005 BX23D. I put a starter relay on (very easy to do) and have not had another no start condition to date. This is a $20 part that is easily installed. My understanding is with the older tractors the wiring starts to break down and you don’t get the full...

I am very happy with the results, has started every time so far, easy to hook up. Cost was $25 for the heavy duty version with the indicator light. I am not an expert on electrical, however this appears to have corrected the issue. Machine is 20 years old so I am assuming the wring has lost some...

I went ahead and installed the starter relay bypass, tractor has started every time so far and it seems like the starter spins much faster. I will keep everyone posted on the no crank issue should it occurs again. Thanks

Thanks for following up, i am meticulous about keeping the machine clean, i had to remove the transmission last year and pressure washed everything, pretty darn clean overall.
