    B 6200 possible blown head gasket

    I was looking through a parts manual for the tractor and found some type of pump towards the front of the block. Is that the hydraulic pump? The tractor is 30 minutes from my house.

    B 6200 possible blown head gasket

    That sounds very promising! He told me that his hydros quit working and he added some hydro fluid. He asked me if hydro fluid and engine oil could mix and I said I am pretty sure they can't. I am not a mechanic but work on my own stuff such as mowers, boats, cars and such. I hope you are...

    B 6200 possible blown head gasket

    Thanks for your time. The tractor has not been pressure washed since my friends has owned it which is over 15 years. It is a beater that sits out uncovered though. Your diesel theory is something I have not thought of. I don't know if this tractor has a lift pump or not. The fuel tank is...

    B 6200 possible blown head gasket

    I am trying to help a friend with his B6200 because he is not very mechanical at all. It has been sitting for over a year with a bad starter. I ordered him a starter and he put it on and used the tractor for an hour or so moving dirt with the frontend loader until it started leaking oil pretty...

    Oil type in front axle L2550DT??

    A friend of mine just aquired a 2550 and we are in the process of fluid changes. He was told to put hydro fluid in the front diff but what we removed seemed like gear oil, although well past its service limit. I know it is an old tractor and no telling what was put in there by the pre owner...

    Using my BX 24 on a slope

    there is no set angle that is safe or unsafe especially using a FEL. You could be unloaded and drive across a hill a million times with no problem but one time have a full bucket raised up half way and turn over the tractor. Also depends on traction and how smooth the ground is, just say you...

    best fuel additive for our tractors?

    Recently bought a 92 model B 5200 and was wondering what is a good diesel fuel additive to run in it for preventative maintenence. I run offroad fuel and live in FL so gelling is not an issue for me. Just wanted to see what some of you other guys are running. Thanks for the input.

    WTB B5200 or similar 3 pt hitch linkage

    JUst bought a 1992 b5200 from a local plant. They used the draw bar only and somewhere along the way the three point hitch linkage was discarded. I am in need of the turn buckles, right and left lift rods and both lower links. I would figure that many different models will interchange. For...

    Belly Mowers Universal?

    Looked at mower deck today and the model number is like RC54 71B which I am thinking means it is for the B7100 but am hoping it will cross over; not why I bought the 5200 but would be nice to get some use out of the deck.

    Belly Mowers Universal?

    My dad has a B7100 that he bought in 1996 with a belly deck. Tractor was only a few months old and he had a front end loader installed which pretty much ended our using the mower. This has been sitting in the barn since then with about ten hours on it. My question is will the deck fit on a...
