    My B8200 and it's new toy

    I'll get some later this week when I have to hook it back up to till again. One thing I do not enjoy is taking the deck on and off. Not the hardest thing to do but having to jack the tractor up, drop all the arms and lift chains and lug that heavy metal out is a chore:D. I'm thinking of building...

Rusty spots all over it. It doesn't care, purrs right along. I'll get around to restoring it when I get...

    RCK60-24 B Mid Mower Removal ?

    Mines a B8200 but close to the same deck. I have to jack the front of my tractor up so the front wheels on the deck clear the undercarriage. Basically, pull the pins on the pivoting arms on both sides, then pull the pins on the raise/lowering chains and the one pin on the arm right beside the...

    getting a 88 b8200

    Love my B8200. A true work horse. Mine is 4wd but not HST and she climbs all my steep hills plus runs the mower, tiller, box blade and soon the sickle. Would love to get a loader though. Enjoy.

    Prepping my B8200

    Thanks guys, very helpful information. A quick story about my battery....It felt like the battery was not very strong and my tractor did not want to start. So, I go grab my charger for a slow charge for the rest of the day. Without really looking I hooked the hot side of the charger to the red...

    grader box for my B8200

    Wooohooo, I used the heck out of my tractor and the box blade this weekend. I cleared an area were a 40x30 old barn used to sit that I tore down. Weeds had gone up and it was full of old tin, boards, rocks and concrete blocks. Tore into it like a wildman. Pushed it all into a big pile. Tractor...

    grader box for my B8200

    Thanks. Got home and there it was and like the guy said, it was brand new. It had some of the powder coating chipping off but looks good. The bent arm isn't anything i can't fix and they are made heavyduty. Well worth the money. Now I have to see if my Kubota can handle it. I don't have weights...

    grader box for my B8200

    I've been looking for a grader box for my b8200 for a while. I didn't want one new and kept looking around but didn't find what i wanted. Got tired of looking and posted an ad on craigslist that I was looking for one. Got a email the next day from someone who had a brand new one, never on a...

    B8200 brakes

    Yeah, you can tell she had set for a while. When I first got it, it seemed sluggish and didn't want to take any pedal up my 2 to 1 sloped hill that i mow. Now it doesn't care. Lock it 4WD and let her eat. Josh

    B8200 brakes

    Handyman, contacted several reliners. Basically, prices were around $20 a shoe. Not bad but I found out what the problem was this past weekend. I started by trying to adjust the right side brakes and it made no difference. Then I started hitting the pedal and looked at the left side and the...

    B8200 brakes

    thanks Phildac, I've been getting in touch with several brake relining companies. One priced me $18 a shoe to line and another was $22.50. Alot better than $350 for new ones. I also can get the material from McMaster Carr and do it myself more about $20. Might just do that. Sweet, I've been...

    B8200 and Midmount mower

    Right now my B8200 has a Rc60-82H MMM under it. I think most came with a RC60-1 or something like that. Several decks will fit under it. Don't know of any new ones. You'll have to find used. Josh

    B8200 brakes

    Anyone know how to find the dimensions of the shoes? I've contacted several relining companies, one has asked for the dimensions. Would contacting Kubota be the thing to do? Josh

    B8200 brakes

    When I first got my B8200 a month ago, the tractor wouldn't roll by itself. It would move when I left off the clutch. I figured the thing set to long and the brakes were a little frozen. So I drove it a few hours and they let loose but now I don't have any brakes. I'm guessing the drums were...

    tension arm broke

    Handyman, that was basically the plan but 2 problems came up. First one, I used a 1" spacer slide over the 17mm shaft on top of the pulley and started drilling a hole thru the spacer and shaft to add a bolt. When I got through the steel spacer my drill bit went no further. It seems the shaft was...

    tension arm broke

    Finally got time to work on my deck. First thing was to swing by my motorcycle mechanic and pick up some bearings (bearings are pretty standard and used in about everything). While i was there I asked if he had a 17 mm bolt that i could use as the bearing shaft. Just so happens he had what looks...
