    B7200HSTD - What else do I need for power steering?

    As an inelegant alternative, I could probably also do what this person did and tap onto the supply line and plumb a B8200 hydraulic block to it in order to get the supply/return ports for the power steering.

    B7200HSTD - What else do I need for power steering?

    Yup, that's the part and diagram that I couldn't find. Thanks NIW! I suspected that it was going to be something like this, but hoped not. There certainly are a lot of differences between the B6200/B7200 and the B8200 despite being from the same era and of similar HP. Looks like my next...

    B7200HSTD - What else do I need for power steering?

    Three additional pics: First is a screen grab from the WSM showing the B7200 block and lines. Second is a shot of what I believe is just the bare B7200 block. Third is another different angle shot of the B7200 block.

    B7200HSTD - What else do I need for power steering?

    Hello all, A while back I jumped on an eBay auction for the difficult to find portion of a factory Kubota power steering kit for the older B series tractors. Namely, the hydraulic cylinder, drag link and the mounts. I even managed to get the seller to include the rubber lines and the two...

    Kens Bolt On Hooks

    Based on everyone's description of Ken's products and excellent customer service, I added three of his hooks and two clevice mounts to my B7200. Put them to work only minutes after I installed them to lift and move an engine/transmission onto my trailer for a run to the salvage yard. They...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Painted and mounted a full set of three Ken's hooks and a pair of his clevis mounts. I can't believe these things aren't standard on buckets! I scratched up the paint literally two minutes after I finished mounting them by hoisting up a 2.9L V6 engine/transmission onto my trailer for a run to...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    A couple of weeks ago I managed to get in on the Rural King Talon seat deal for $47 shipped. I just got it installed on my B7200HST-D a few days ago and it was a definite increase in comfort. Rather than feeling like I was always sliding off the front, my butt now feels firmly planted in...

    B7100HST , upgrading charging system

    I was browsing Youtube and came across this video of a B7100 for sale. If you go to about the 2:00 minute mark, you can see that someone added a full size alternator to the tractor and managed to make it fit without any obvious alterations to the sheet metal. The video is from 2014, so I doubt...

    Snowblower Front mount or rear PTO - Thoughts?

    Call me insane then. I have a B7200 with FEL and this summer I am going to be rebuilding a B2660 blower for the front of my tractor. Having lived in the U.P. of Michigan all my life, I've ended up using just about every form of snow removal equipment known to man at least once. And in my...

    B2650/B2660 Snowblower yokes/u-joints

    I decided to put this in its own thread since the one I had previously been replying to was for a B2551 and I didn't want to confuse anyone since I have a B2660 and the part numbers may not be the same. Okay, here's what I found. I may have located a Weasler equivalent replacement for the...

    Was anybody able to find out what the NAPA equivalent part number is?

    Cab Heater - OK to Mount in Ceiling?

    Any chance you could post pics of your setup and plumbing? I have a B7200 HST with Sims cab as well and have been contemplating adding a heater but am still debating where to install it. The Sims cab on these doesn't leave a lot of extra space inside for mounting accessories. The one big...

    Hi bcp. A couple of years ago you posted that you had found replacements yokes for a B2551 snowblower at NAPA. I don't suppose you still have that part number available, do you? I'm trying to piece together a B2660 snowblower and am wondering if the yokes could possibly be identical. Thanks...

    Yep. I sure hope summer falls on a weekend this year.

    Bring it on...winter, that is

    24" of snow in 24 hours in the U.P. of Michigan on April 17th. I had ALL my snow moving equipment working to clear it up. B7200 with loader and back blade, Ford LGT165 with blower and Polaris 500 4x4 w/plow. So much for having a Spring this year up here (as usual). *sigh* I picked up a...
