Block heater

Jerry,

Seems to work for me...here it is just in case:

http://www.kubota.com/PartsCat/PartsCatDetail.asp

Lots of basic data there. I see the new BX2230 engine is likely the same as that of the RTV...hope I remember that designation right /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

PS - Click on new search, then pick the model options and then after you make the forth selection the data appears.

BX2200D Block Heater 70000-73274 
That's the same part number that my B2910 uses.
Must be something different in the BX2230 kit.

Ron, apparently it is the same block heater for both the B2910 engine and the D-905-E BX2200 engine.

Another interesting thing that shows up on the Kubots site, is that apparently the BX23LB-B uses the D905-E-BX-OPC engine, as does the BX23LB-T [wonder what is different between the -B and -T ???]

So the BX2230 uses the new D902-E-BX, while the BX23 uses the D905-E-BX-OPC engine. The BX2200 uses the D905-E-BX engine...must be the same engine, or very close.

Wonder what the difference is between the BX23LB-T and BX23LB-B??? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif Also wonder why the new D902 engine was not put into the BX23 ???

Very curious! Maybe they were using up a backlog of 905 engines. I also think they may have made changes to the 22 before they made changes to the 2200. It's still a bit strange to have two different 22 Hp engines in this series. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

"Wonder what the difference is between the BX23LB-T and BX23LB-B??? "

That one threw me too. All I could figure was the tires:

Turf or Bar.

Yeah, the D902 is 45 pounds /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif lighter than the D905 -- Who ever heard of wanting to make your tractor LIGHTER???

The BX 2200 uses a 905 Engine the BX 2230 uses a newer design 902 Engine. In about six months the BX 23 will also use the 902 Engine. It is access to where the heater plug used to go that is the issue. I actually posted a question to the Kubota web site and the technical product manager called me to relate this information to me.

Rimmer, another interesting fact is that if you look at the Kubota Engine site you can get HP and torque curves for both engines 902 and 905. From what I can see I would prefer to have the 905 rather than the 902, hence my question to Kubota. To me it looks like the 902 turns slower, produces less HP and torque at the same RPM's as the 905.
To get the 902 info you have to go to the home page of this site.
