I found two of those in my uncle's shop when I was cleaning it a few months ago. Who knows where he got them.

I am putting my newly acquired B8200 back into service this spring and working on the belly mower. I'm sure the pins that attach the mower to the mounting brackets are in the box of "extras" that came with the machine. I see in the mower service manual that there are two sizes of pins based on...

1986 B8200D 4WD, 850 hrs. Uncle purchased it new and I inherited it. The ugly step sister B8200D 2WD with 1,300 hrs. She's ugly but runs like a top

Okay, thanks for checking it out for me.

I am looking for several B8200 items that I believe cross reference to your B7100. A few sheet metal pieces, 3pt position control bracket next to the seat, headlight switch, etc.

A little back story first. I inherited my uncle's 1987 B8200 last winter. He purchased it new in April of 1987. The tractor has 855 hours on it. I had assumed my uncle kept up on all the maintenance on the machine all these years. This past spring, I was brush hogging with it I feel a little too...

Well, this project may be on hold for a bit. I think I may have a blown head gasket. I'm posting a new thread to the forum now so I can make sure I tackle this one properly.

Very nice. This gives me peace of mind that I'm not working with a worn out deck. As for shaft play, am I looking for none whatsoever or is a minimal amount acceptable? I'll check that out when I soak down the PTO shaft.

Are the centers of the mower blades smooth or notched in a gear like pattern? Hope that makes sense. I will document as much as possible with pictures. Especially the belt diagram.

Thanks guys, this gives me peace of mind that I still have a decent deck and it's worth putting back into service. I'm going to start hitting that pto shaft with penetrating oil to get it freed up and get her going. Any idea what size blades these decks take?

I inherited my uncle's 1987 B8200 with a RCB60 mid mounted mower and a 3pt tiller. My uncle purchased these brand new in early 1987. He recently passed away at the age of 81. He parked the tiller about a year ago when he wrapped a garden hose in the tines and didn't have the time or energy to...

Well, I assumed the dynamo would be okay due to the low hours on the meter. I do not know the history of this machine so was the meter replaced in the past and the hours are incorrect? I have no idea. The engine runs strong and doesn't smoke. Not that this would be an indicator of the age. I...

Hello everyone, I have a B8200 with about 850 hours that is not charging. Based on the age of the machine, I cannot tell whether the dynamo, voltage regulator, etc. is causing the issue. I would like to upgrade to an alternator. Is there a direct bolt-on alternator that uses the existing dynamo...
