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...

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...

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...

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...

Hey guys, I've found a real nice looking, garage kept B20 being sold from an estate. I currently have a B7200, and it's a great machine! I'm just looking for something bigger and I love the idea of having a backhoe. This would be a small farm tractor, and potentially used on side jobs through...

Basically it's just as the title says. I have a 3ph that I have yet to use and would like to start utilizing it. I'm hoping to eventually get a ballast box, York rake, and a trailer hitch receiver.. looks like the linkages are pretty much obsolete and the kits online don't have great reviews...

Hey all, In need of some help.. again. Yesterday I finished up a front crank seal and hydraulic pump seal on my B7200HST. When I went to test the hydraulics (FEL) everything worked fine except it seemed a bit slow at first. Then I realized foamy hydraulic oil was quickly overflowing from the...

Hey all, my last thread I had open went dead. I'm hoping you guys can help me out. I royally F'd up the new seal I got for my crankshaft leak. I ordered another and I might need a new crankshaft collar as well. *sigh* Thank you to IWM, who originally told me there was also an O-ring that...

Hello everyone, My b7200 has a couple issues I'm looking to sort out and would appreciate the help. I recently discovered hydraulic oil is getting into the engine. I've read the pump is usually the culprit. It looks like (per diagrams) all I need is a gasket for the pump assy, and an oil...

Hey guys, A while back I posted a thread on how to install a loader I got from Coldwater Tractors. Although I talked with the owner before purchase I thought the install was going to be more simplified than it turned out to be. What I would say to expect: A good loader, at a good price, with...

Hello again, The hits just keep coming! The charge light hasn't shut off in days, and my fuel gauge quit working. Went through all wires, fuses, grounds, etc and I can't seem to narrow the issue down. Yesterday I checked both Dynamo wires and found each wire was putting 20v+ to the regulator...

Hey guys, It's exactly as the title says. Crankshaft seal is leaking pretty bad and will need to be replaced soon. This isn't my first leak - I fixed one at the oil filter housing and another at the hour meter cable housing on the front of the block. I'm wondering if there is too much pressure...

Hey guys, I tried posting this on one of my old threads with no luck so far and am in need of some help asap. The main question.. Does anyone know if it's safe for me to bore/tap the block of the engine where the engine support bolts/loader brackets are? The threads are junked out. Stock they...

Hey all, I just got a loader from Coldwater Tractors delivered to my house yesterday. Everything appears to be here and it appears to be in great shape.. however it came with a box filled with a bunch of metal pieces that I now have to figure out how to put together. Can anyone help me out...

Hey all, the few times I've posted on here you all have been really helpful, and I find myself in need of some more advice. I've got a shiny new loader on the way from Coldwater Tractors, and I got the urge to pull all the original panels off the old 7200 and freshen it up. I'm going to use the...

Hey guys, I picked up a B7200D hst in January, and overall it's an awesome-stout little tractor. Ive put around 60 hours on it (it's got just over (1000), and now that the warmer weather is coming around I'm starting to perform regular maintenance procedures. PO said he stayed on top of it...

Hey all, I recently got a B7200 HST 4x4. I do not know a terrible amount about tractors, as this is my first. I had it running this afternoon and noticed a small puddle of oil forming under the tractor. Its leaking near the right rear wheel, right side of the seat (roughly) where the 3 point...

Hello, I recently got a B7200 and the rear rims are junk. I was hoping to re-use them with a set of innertubes, but the insides are rotted out.. They cant be saved. I have the 31x13.5-15 rims/tires. Is there an aftermarket rim I can buy? Any idea what the specs of the rim are? I cant find...

Hey all, first time poster! Just picked up my first tractor, and I love the thing already. Its a B7200-HST 4x4, and everything works great on it. However... I am desperately in need of rims/tires on the rear, and for the life of me cant find any aftermarket rims for my stock 31" tire size. I am...
