Just get a range plug and a good lenght of wire, and for the seat switch just find something to put in the seat, say a milk-crate full of deck cleaner solution/washer parts.

Yeah, the more I think about this, the more I'm thinking PTO. Which means another trip to Home Despot for a range cable and plug. Problem is those are usually only 6 feet long tops, so the washer will have to be close to the tractor.
And I'll have to include a set of alligator clips to bypass the seat switch. I really don't like that but when I did the calculations, 2hp is going to pull 1,500 watts or so. Which equals out to around 50a, not going to work with the little 20a accessory outlet.
