I'm going to try again - the manual says in the off position it should be Infinity and in the ON position it should be 0, but I'm not sure I'm reading this correctly as I've never used this except for checking continuity. I'll try again tonight. The manual says; Main Switch Continuity 1) Main...

Thank you both for your replies; Let me better explain. I removed the fuel pump and it runs (clicks and shakes) when connected with some jumpers to the battery. There is no voltage to the connecter under the tractor when turning the key. All the 4 fuses have continuity. If I remove the fuses...

I'm having some electrical issues with my BX23 There doesn't seem to be any power going to the fuel pump and I'm not too familiar with wiring and electrical on a tractor. I'm not sure I'm understanding the wiring, but I have 4 fuses, a 20a, 15a, 15a, 15a The first 2 show a voltage when the...

Oh - One more question. If you were to plan new wiring, where would you buy wires, connectors, clips etc? I have none of these (apart from fuses) and want to buy some quality products - Amazon is so inconsistent on quality and didn't know if there was places you might recommend. I'll probably...

Thank you - you guys gave me a direction to work toward, which I really appreciate about the forum. I'm always willing to put in the work, but the experience of others helps point you in the right direction. I've never liked when someone just comes and ask a question and expects others to solve...

So, more progress on this and also explains the hard starting issue; This is my understanding on how the solenoid appears to work (don't have a WSM - I wish I did and might try and look for one). The plunger is normally in the in/retracted position. When you turn on the tractor it should stay...

Thank you all - i never knew what a fuel shutoff solenoid was until yesterday so I’ll work through this tomorrow and revert. I think I hear the audible pop a few seconds after shutting off, but that doesn’t explain why the engine still runs. I bought a new solenoid so will try working on them...

Ok - a lot of things to update on. Not sure how to interpret this, so a it’s a little long; Went back and tried starting it, after about 5 seconds of cranking it started up and stayed on (it’s a lot warmer than when I tried in the morning, so not sure if that’s the reason.) Let it idle for 20...

Ok, so some updates from this morning. JWR, your instinct that since it started for a minute yesterday it might just start again when the battery was charged was spot on. It was still a bit of a hard start but started up - the issue then was that as soon as i let go of the key (fully turned) it...

Hi - yes changed fuel filters and drained tank and refilled with fresh diesel. I tried to bleed the lines after changing these so there is a possibility if there was moisture, I flushed it back. I’m going to start with just trying to start it up today and then as JWR suggests, try to get fresh...

Thank you - that makes a lot of sense. Haven’t been able to try again since the battery died but will run through the steps you outlined tomorrow. I like the “iv bag” idea to try and atleast make sure the injectors and engine are ok. Since it’s lived outside, I have been thinking there might...

Thanks - will check that first thing in the morning.

Thank you everyone for your replies; Still haven't gotten it resolved but based on all your suggestions here's what I did; I opened the return fuel line as /pine suggested (And I didn't know about that, so thanks) When turning the key, I did get fuel squirt through that rubber line - I didn't...

Thank you so much - I've been watching a few videos and reading other posts, but your instructions make great sense. I should be able to go try this in a few hours and report back. I had taken a photo last night and think I understand. There the rubber tube on the right side, which if I...

Thank you - I'm fairly new to dealing with a fuel issue and wasn't too sure about messing something up opening the high pressure lines and couldn't find any clear instructions - but will do this today and report back. About 1300 hours on it. Never had this issue before..It would be hard to start...

Thanks so much - checked and replaced the air filter too.. Sorry, I don't think I know how to crack the return fuel lines...Would you be able to point me to how to do this? I'll search of course, but never had to do that.

Having a real issue getting my BX 23 to start. I crank it to the point the battery feels like it would die. Sometimes it starts and immediately shuts down, other times it starts perhaps sputters for a few minutes and then shuts down. I thought it's probably a fuel issue as it's been sitting for...

As soon as I took off the grapple, there was no pressure on the left / right turning on the joystick (curl) so unfortunately working the joystick didn’t help in this case.

I have a MX6000, 150hrs, 18 months old. Was using a grapple and all worked fine. Disconnected the grapple, and went to connect to a bucket, but no curl. Raising and lowering works fine. I was trying to swap the hoses, but can't get the couplers off (probably under too much pressure) and it was...

Thank you so much for all your replies - It's really helped sort out whether a chipper makes sense. Ya, quite close. Near Cool - definitely not as cold as where you are! And way more pines up that way. I have the El Dorado county permit, we're now considered in a "High Risk Area" so all it...

Ha - not in San Francisco! Sorry, just updated to N. California (halfway between SF and Tahoe). Also updated to add the MX6000. Appreciate all the thoughts and advise thus far - these were some of my concerns and trying to cut trees down to a manageable size to run through a chipper is not...

Thanks - not a Bx23. I have a new MX6000 (57 hp PTO) the trunk diameter was my other consideration- the diameter on some of these is atleast 20 inches so would involve first getting these sawed to manageable sizes - so might not always make practical sense, but it has to be cut down even if it...

Thank's for the replies - I think a wood chipper makes the most sense and the mulch would definitely be useful. Trying to research the different options now; Reading different posts and trying to narrow down between WoodMaxx WM-8H, Victory WC-8H and Woodland WC88

I was looking for suggestions on what might be the best uses of fallen Digger Pines (California Foothill Pine) We had about 5 (80-100' in height) pines fall during a recent rainstorm and probably another 3 to 5 that should be cut down and a few oaks. 1 - Wood Chips. Chipping these as wood...

I was wondering if anyone knew what the Backhoe options might be on a new Kubota M4 or if it's just not possible to get a backhoe on this. On the Kubota build site, it doesn't offer the option of selecting / adding a Backhoe. I called the local dealer, but they've never sold an M4 (or ever...

Thanks - will get a parts breakdown ordered and take a closer look and see if anything looks loose on the linkage and start there. Any other thoughts and ideas though on what else could be causing this? I'm looking at the attached diagram, and if I understand correctly the Hydrostatic...

I have an issue with getting no pressure to the HST pedal (pedal is just limp and not working, can be freely moved up and down by hand) It's a BX23, approx 1300hrs. Just did a service (Engine oil, fuel filters, transmission oil and filters) The tractor ran fine, reconnected the MMM, mowed for...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has seen a vacuum that could be attached the front or back of a RTV? Kind of like those large commercial walk-behind vacuum's. I have a 10,000 sqf long barn that needs to be swept, blown or preferably vacuumed everyday and looking for ideas on attachments.
