You're not kidding! Just for kicks I searched for drive pumps and found they ARE available... for the price of nearly $2k! I'll have to see it run and operate it to see how it really feels and take it from there... The bubbling hydraulics are definitely the biggest concern, if possible I'll see...

I appreciate the pointers - I have yet to see the machine in action, but it helps to know what to look for. The owner told my wife the "bubbling" started after she added hydraulic fluid to the machine, and that she suspected the drum of fluid was contaminated. I question why she was needing to...

Hey Guys, This is a bit off topic as far as "orange tractors" go, but I'm hoping you guys will have some insight for me nonetheless. I have a chance to buy a late 80's-90's John Deere 675B Skidsteer for less than $2k, with 3200 hours. It's a bit rough around the edges, but does this seem...

Yep. I didn't think what I was asking/stating was that crazy but apparently everything should be common knowledge to everyone. And I do get what guys like OldHokie are saying... I had just never seen a machine attempt to lift something and seemingly nothing happened. On many occasions I've...

Your dead on. I only had 35 left and I thought my brother in laws tractor had enough uumph to lift them up, but nope. I knew the ass end of my tractor would have been in the air, that's why I thought it was weird at the time. I'd love to get a skid steer, but I'm moving and the market is sky...

That's exactly what I'm referring to. My situation with my tractor could just be different from others. That seems to be the general answer.

Makes sense man, I just thought it was a weird situation at the time. I guess I'm so used to my machine and the way it behaves, I just thought it was weird his tractor didn't even lift up on the rear wheels. I also have an aftermarket loader on my tractor, so I'm wondering if there is less...

Huh, well that might be all there is to it! Apples and oranges.

I know his tractor is rated for 1k# lift. I want to say its a B2620 or B2626. And we were using forks with the Bobcat style quick connect. 35 blocks at 35#s comes out to 1050#s. I assumed the 'loader lift spec' would generally be underrated as to what the machine could actually lift. Seems to be...

Thanks Dan, I could be wrong but I think the rear not lifting up was due to the lack of lifting power. If he had a ballast box on at the time that would have made more sense to me. As soon as I went to lift the pallet, the loader stopped and didn't even try to lift the load. Then we removed...

Gotcha, idk if my brother in law is really concerned about it.. but I know I would be. That tractor could easily and safely lift much more IMO. Not an expert here, but my machine is very comparable to his and I know mine would at least TRY to lift.

Hey Guys, Got a question about the lift capacity with 'newer' tractors. How is the factory limiting the loaders lifting capacity, and have any of you remidied this issue? I ask because I recently used my brother in laws newer B series tractor, and was surprised when I went to go lift up a...

THAT is what made me laugh! Lol

Thank you Dave, Sorry for the delayed response. The 7200 was due for an oil change soon so I went ahead and did that last night, and cleaned up the oil. I will know later today if it will continue to leak or not. The crankcase vent is still functional, it had always had a steady "puff" of...

I will have to shut the tractor off more when I'm low idling for extended periods. Generally the tractor is getting worked pretty good. So is the load on a tractor engine much different from a diesel pickup/semi truck? I ask because a lot of guys with trucks say to high idle when sitting for...

Ahh, never even thought of that. Something I've heard of many times - but never seen the direct results of. Yes, at the time I noticed the leak she was at low idle. I was installing farm gates and using the loader to lift/swing the gates as I installed them. I'm assuming if it's just wet...

Like the title says, oil is coming out the exhaust manifold, and it's leaking out where the stack bolts to the manifold. My first thought was valve seals... Any thoughts? It does not appear hydro oil, coolant, or diesel is mixing with the engine oil. Is it safe to run for a few hours this...

I'm glad I checked back, I need to turn on my notifications! The issue was my original hydraulic block was damaged, and of course - the part is discontinued. I bought a "take off" block and (warning to others) they are not all the same size! They look identical, other than the fact that one...

Hey all, Long story short I either need a hydraulic block - or a way to extend the "new" block I already purchased. This is for a B7200HST-D I recently found a take off block, ordered, and installed it! All was looking good until I went to bolt the hydraulic line to the block, only to...

Do you have a good hydraulic block? I need one for a B7200 and I've seen some of the parts are interchangeable.
