    Homemade Power Steering Issue

    Thanks for all your input. I'm not trying to be dense, but the B8200 came with a power steering option and there was no extra pump. The hydraulic block has two sections and the FEL connections are obvious open center. The power steering ports are capped if it didn't come with power steering. The...

    Homemade Power Steering Issue

    Dave - Thank you for your reply, it caused a light to go off when you said my tractor is open center. When I connected the steering valve to the hydraulic block steering ports I had to remove the factory plugs. Both of the ports were individually blocked. Could this mean that the hydraulic block...

    Homemade Power Steering Issue

    I have a B8200 4x4 gear tractor with Kubota FEL and backhoe. The tractor had the manual steering box which was a real pain when using the FEL. After the 2nd time the steering box broke I decided to go with hydraulic steering. I bought a rotary 4 port hydraulic valve and a hydraulic cylinder...

    B8200 hydraulic gear pump

    I wish I could tell you, but I really have no idea. Perhaps you could find a service manual for your tractor serial number. i know the B8200 tractors had different manuals for different serial numbers and options (like gear vs hydrostatic).

    B8200 hydraulic gear pump

    I put the Kubota part number (from the Kubota parts manual) in the "part no." search line in the "quick find" box on their web site. This brought up 3 listings. The 1st one was a left hand turn pump and only had their part number. The second one I clicked on had their part number followed by the...

    B8200 hydraulic gear pump

    I found a great source for the B8200 hydraulic gear pump, part number 67810-76100. Everywhere I looked wanted $300 and up for the pump. I found a place in the UK, White House Products Ltd that specializes in hydraulic pumps and claims an inventory of 55,000 pumps. They sold me the pump for...

    Loader Valve loose....

    I had the same problem on my B8200. I tried to find a repair kit but it was just too old (or there never was one available). I took it apart, drilled and installed sleeves and bigger pins, but that didn't really help much. The spools were not moving the full length because the control pivot...

    Bushings or Pins? Back-hoe play

    I have an old back-hoe on my old B8200. It's a good back-hoe but it has a lot of play in all the joints. I was hoping someone on the forum could tell me if this most likely worn pins or worn bushings, or both. The pins are really expensive from Kubota, but I'm sure having the bushings replaced...

    B8200 Gear Tractor Left Brake Pedal

    The left brake pedal on my tractor drops down when I push in the clutch. Is this normal? Is there any particular reason why this would happen? I've also noticed that when I push the left brake pedal, whether the clutch is in or out, I don't have brakes on the left tire. It's like I wasn't even...

    B8200 Steering Box Destroyed

    I hit a stump with my right front tire this evening and there was a loud snap. Now the steering wheel turns freely like the shaft may be broken. I see a "new" B8200 steering box on Ebay for $450, but I was wondering if I could do power steering for the same price. The articles that i see posted...

    Tree popper for l3400

    I bought one of the Brush Grubbers off of Amazon - pretty reasonable price. I have pulled 5" diameter oak and pepper trees out of the ground, roots and all with it, using my truck (2500HD Duramax) and my tractors. It is a really stout piece of gear and has a spring to hold it clamped onto the...

    Custom Fenders for an older B Tractor?

    Thanks, I'll give Kentucky tractor parts a call. I do still like the idea of building the custom fenders, but if I can get them for a good price it wouldn't make sense to spend the time making new ones. Anyway, the wife has informed me that I can only one tractor dis-assembled at a time, and I...

    Custom Fenders for an older B Tractor?

    I recently bought a B8200D and the rear fenders are rusted through in several places. I've looked around the internet for replacements, but what I have found isn't much better than what I have, and the prices are astronomical. So, I had this thought of removing my fenders and using them to make...

    B8200 Ignition Wiring

    To follow up, I did figure out the wiring. The bundle of black wires is connected to the right side screw on the manifold heater indicator. There are nuts on the backs of the two screws that hold the indicator and I didn't know it was on there, so it fell away, never to be seen again. I went to...

    BL4520 Removal?

    Emailing the manual would be greatly appreciated! (mopped@cfl.rr.com). The backhoe is on a subframe and it has a PTO pump. Do you also know if there is a setting on the BF300A FEL to stop float? Whenever I am trying to push dirt the bucket wants to rise up over it. Thanks!

    BL4520 Removal?

    I recently bought a B8200D with backhoe and FEL. I picked up a box-blade yesterday and would like to try it out, but I checked all the manuals I got with the tractor and there is nothing for the backhoe or the FEL. Does anyone know how to take one of these off (especially in a manner that will...

    B8200 Ignition Wiring

    I recently bought a B8200 with FEL and Backhoe. The previous owner used a screwdriver to start the engine. I figured it would be an easy job to change out the ignition switch...... I still think it should have been an easy job. Anyway, I took loose the bolts and screws holding the dash together...
