    Gas engine float level ?

    A couple of weeks ago, I traded in my old wood splitter for a new one. towing the old splitter over to the dealer, the crankcase filled with gas. Dumb me neglected to turn off the fuel stop. Yesterday, I started up the lawn mower, and the engine pushed wet smoke out the exhaust for about...

    B7200 sloppy stearing What can one do to delay the inevitable?

    As the header implies. are there service and maintenance procedures that will prolong the agony? I've replaced the lube, the tractor is stored under cover, so no water leaking in. and the adjustment to the lost motion has been made per the service literature. Can one do more? It is...

    Compression release as starting aid

    I've got an older B7200. It starts and runs just fine. In fact, It seems to be getting better with age. I wish that was the same for me ;-) It has a compression release control that functions as it's designed to. I've never been able to see a benefit in starting the tractor in cold weather...

    B7200 2WD HST 3pth won't go down ....

    I used the B7200 to move the wood splitter out of the pile and to a location in the shade. I pushed the control back to raise the 3pt all the way. Now the hitch won't lower. It feels mechanical. A pry bar was used to try to lever the lift arms back down in case something inside went over...

    Is Kubota the only brand that packages Tractor, financing, and insurance?

    It would seem that there is an advantage if the "seller" would make a buck or two on the insurance premium. 'Might even be a way to provide no interest financing. ?? It might be that others do it also. I don't know, that's why I ask.

    B7200 Dynamo question?

    Inspired by another recent similar question........ At times, after starting the B7200e, the "charge light" on the dash remains illuminated. This might be the entire engine warm up time. call it 5 min. Then, if the head lamps are turned on, or if the engine speed is alternately increased...

    When the exhaust thows dark smoke under load, Injectors?

    Oil doesn't burn dark, so it must be fuel? Every time I bump the throttle or every hill and load, the B7200 engine puffs a bit of darkness. Let it go and sort it's self out, or bite the bullet and buy new injectors? The smoke isn't bad, it's just not on par with the gas tractor in...

    BX2015a "float function"?

    I purchased a BX2015a two spool unit in a private sale. The seller was a bit surprised when the float function was investigated during the inspection process. He didn't know it was there even though he had used the unit on his own snow blower fitted BX. After mounting the unit on my B7200, (it...

    Mid PTO on B series tractors. Size spec?

    Having done a pretty fair search on the topic, And needing to produce a male spline shaft to couple the mid PTO on a B7200 to a snow blower, I see dimensions such as 31/32 -10 Should that really be 25 mm -10? I can purchase 25 mm or 1 inch "stress proof", but 31/32? Odd size . I'm...

    Information regarding B7200 Front "Quick Hitch"??

    Was there such a thing? If so, how does one discover the operators and parts manual. If there was not such a hitch ever offered, How does one find information (O&P manuals) for what front hitch options were produced. I am in the throws of mounting a front blower to a B7200HST-E (2wd) and...

    Has anyone relocated the battery up front on b7200?

    The tractor certainly could use the extra weight up front. Clearing the present battery location would free up space for a hydraulics addition. Just looking for good ideas and "gottcha's". '=_

    Oil pan drain plug installation?

    A recent thread on what may prove to be a catastrophic engine failure due to a "gone missing" oil sump drain plug has drawn significant attention and many views. Both technical and political. There has been mention of changing methods and requirements for the proper installation of sump drain...

    B series mid mount PTO use

    Other than a belly mower, what other uses have you put the mid mount PTO to? I've got this B7200, a belly mower that's shot and I don't need (not enough lawn). Just curious what else might be possible. A front mount snow blower "seems" good, but the MID PTO turns faster, and "something...

    Where can one find a complete description of the hydraulic valve on a B7200hst-E

    It's not in the WSM, at least not in the copy I have. R&R only. There are several ports, plugs and fittings. I am fitting a 3 spool valve for front and rear remotes, and knowing what makes that valve tick would be a boon. Last resort of course is to remove and interrogate. But prior...

    B7200 hour meter repair.

    I "picked up" a B7200 recently and have gone over it to bring it up to snuff. There were a few issues. Included was a new tachometer drive and cable. The original drive was stripped, and the cable was broken. Now, with the new parts, the tachometer works PERFECTLY! But with some work...

    B6xxx, 7xxx Hydraulics, HST, Power steering rambling ;-)

    I've been reading "the back issues" of a few tractor forums and Power steering comes up a lot. I have a Bolens HT with an Eaton 11 hydrostatic drive that derives ALL it's hydraulic Auxiliaries from the Eaton 11 charge pump. Pressures and flows from the charge pump are useful for many purposes...
