Needed to grade an area between the new shop and the new retaining wall. It's only about 7' wide and I didn't want the blade to hit the wall and damage it. So I came up with a brilliant idea, that actually worked.

My hydrualic hose shop rebuilds cylinders for a third of what I could buy a replacement for. Have done a couple on various machines. I just take in hoses or cylinders and in 3-4 days time, I have new ones. Might be worth checking out.

Sorry I didn't get back to you for a few days, work tied me up and I didn't get to play tractors for a bit. I got a better look at the 7200, and it's not like the 8200 for hydraulic blocks. The hydraulics come from somwhere near the fuel shutoff/filter on the side, I havewn't traced them down...

Resurected my b8200 after 3 years. need it for grading. and getting ready for plowing. Going to do oil changes and filter changes tomorrow.

The directional valve opens hte power steering, when it's capped off it's closed so there's no flow. I used hydrualic steering from a JD 318 and piped it in. It works very well. This is the 8200, I'll get the 7200 shortly.

When I go out to the shop I'll grab a picture. But it basically looks like this:

I like splitting wood, I don't like cutting wood. I'll split wood all day, it's a great workout, but cutting wood i have to deal with the saw cutting out, or the blades getting dull, or mixing up more 2cycle gas.

Yessir. I actually used it as a template to make my own power steering system on my b8200.

Thank you for your input. Suggestions on what gauge and where to hook it up first? Am I hooking it up to the hydrulic block on the side where the power steering comes?

I'm trying to figure out the location of relief spring on the valve and what kind of shims I need. I think I have found where the spring is, on the top. But there's also one on the bottom. My primary issue is break out force on the curl, it doesn't do what it should. It's a 1986 tractor, so I'm...

I saw them years ago at HF too, but i looked recently, and couldn't find them. I saw a few on ebay, but wasn't sure about them.

I really need to get a dolly for my drums, it would make it a lot easier if I could just wheel them to the tractors instead of pulling into the corner.

I had some trouble breaking into compacted dirt that I had piled up in a little mountain. So I bought a tooth bar off ebay and put it on. Damn, what a difference. And 4 bolts and it's off for snow.

Here's a diagram of the flow control.

That could work. Also I saw someone added a quick disconnect to theirs, which I didn't know was a thing. I only have to do it 1-2x a year, and I haven't been annoyed by it enough to do anything yet. And I built the setup in 2017 according to my amazon purchase history.

I bought 55g drums for $15 a pop, then an electric fuel pump that screws into the bung with a 40" pickup. When my oil guy comes he fills the tanks for me with tax free diesel. The only annoying part is screwing the pump setup into the drum, the whole thing has to spin, hose and all...

I started backfilling the area behind the wall with dirt. Even at mid day the dirt was frozen, i was a bit surprised. I want to get teeth for the bucket, I think it'll really help break up the dirt piles. Weeds were growing as well, which had some root balls that were tough to break through...

Tires are fine, it rarely sees pavement travel. Front tires were replaced maybe 10 years ago, rear's are original. I'll pull it in the shop tonight and take a look. I'm guessing all those parts are available?
