I need advice, not condolences. Most forums members usually serve up more suggestions than can be tried. I attached the owner's manual pages, since the shop manual does not have much for maintenance. Pretty straightforward. I know about the screen cleaning. Anything *else* I should do or...

Oh, for the love of Pete...see attached...

Hello again, No, I got regular UDT - the right stuff all right. Price still seems pretty stiff for lubricant. Guess that's just the going rate at this dealership. Back to the original question I posted....what else should I be doing while I have this gear transmission drained? Do I need to...

Hello, I have a 1985 B8200DT gear tractor with 900 hours on it. It is 4WD and has power steering and sits on turf tires. I have the service and owner's manuals and have read most of both by now. I'm working my way through changing out all the fluids in this, since I can't be sure when they...

Re: Gearbox for RCB60-I mower - rebuild Well, I managed to get the pulley off the shaft finally, and did not bend anything. But the vertical shaft assembly does not want to drop out the bottom. I've removed both oil seals, all 3 circlips and can see the ball bearings, but it it still wants to...

OK - thanks for the new strategy. Mine is sure not working, that's for sure. I even hung the dang thing right side up from the rafters. More PB Blaster dripped right down the shaft, more tapping, more puller tightening. Won't budge. thanks, Doug

Hi all, Now that mowing season is over, I am taking the time to work over the RCB60-I belly mower on my new-to-me B8200DT. Primary task is to repair the gearbox powered by the front PTO shaft. The manuals call for 90W gear oil for lube, but the seal is gone - just leaks out in a puddle. I...

OK - I was just concerned about running a 34 year old engine too hard. I've never been one of the "Run it like ya stole it!" crowd. I drive several 1966 Ford pickups and try to keep them below 3K at all times. The operators manual says the D950 is rated at 2600 RPM. Again, this manual was...

Hello, I now have a new-to-me 1985 B8200DT 4WD geared tractor with an RCB60-I belly mower and turf tires with just over 900 hrs on the tach. Having cleaned and replaced some things that needed work, I'm about to mow with this rig for the first time. This is my first diesel. I have several...

Well, that's the trick, isn't it, when materials *are* clearly marked as copy protected. And people's opinions on this matter on the forums over at Yesterday's Tractors really range all over the place. Some folks say don't even consider it, others say any written materials that old are pretty...

Hello all, I have paper copies of the operator's manual and the service manual for the RCB60-I and RCB60-IA(E) rotary belly mowers. These include the FP82-A PTO assembly. When I get a good clean copy of a manual, I scan and store it in electronic format (usually PDF) so that I can print...

Thanks guys, I will drain & replace the transmission fluid with Kubota UDT. Time for me to start getting aquainted with our area Kubota shops. thanks, Doug

Hello, I am new to this board, and new to Kubota. I am much more familiar with older Ford tractors. We just brought home a 1985 B8200DT with turf tires, P/S & 4WD - shows 904 hours. This came with an RCB 60-I belly mower run by an FP82-A front belt driven PTO. This is a gear tractor - not HST...

Thanks for the quick reply. I will be changing all the fluids and filters possible while I have the tractor torn down for cleaning and degreasing. thanks, Doug
