Whoo Hoo! I drained the hydraulic fluid and removed the left side screen to find it quite clogged up. It took a lot of doing, but I got it cleared out. I did find some metal shavings which was a little disturbing but I guess you might expect it in an old tractor. Finding what I did, it only...

I have a B7200 as well and recently finished a minor rebuild of the engine. The first thing I'd suggest is to loosen the high pressure lines at the injectors and see if they bleed when you crank the engine (pull the decompression knob for that). If so, I'd tighten it back up, crank some more...

So I rebuilt the D950 engine in my 7200 about 6 months ago. Got it to run, tried out the hydraulics and drove it around a little. The hydrostatic groaned a bit, suggesting low fluid (since confirmed). It got worse as I exercised the hydraulics so I parked it. Today I went out, added fluid...

Let's see... if the crankcase is filling up, the next question is, "with what?" I'd start by checking for reduced fluid levels elsewhere. Is is possible that the injector pump is leaking diesel into the crankcase?

Not to be misleading, all three cylinders are indeed present but after rebuilding much of the engine on by B7200, my #2 cylinder does not like to fire. I do see fuel residue coming out the exhaust (checked before I had installed the exhaust manifold) and as the engine warms up, I can rev it and...

I have a B7200HST that I drove for the first time today. Bought it with a blown engine (gear case contents scrambled), invested about $200 and now I have it running (poorly, but that's another story). Anyway, I too am having HST problems but I think it's just low fluid level (certainly some...
