This is good to know and I hadn't quite put 2&2 together in regards to these particular tractor physics. Another reason to point downward when changing gears on the slope. Thanks!

Thanks. Sounds like this CAN be done but safety first!

That's good to know. Thanks. If I can't sell this one for an HST I will need to be able to do this.

This makes a lot of sense to me thanks

This is very interesting. That makes sense. I'm going to try that on the very bottom of this slope. Very short distance to roll and not steep but something I can practice safely.

That's promising. But what do you mean by your last sentence?

Thanks! Sounds like you're very deliberate and planned when it comes to hilly work. The specific part about changing gears based on how people are answering I didn't word correctly. I'm not as curious about changing from a low to high great as much as 1st to reverse and reverse to 1st...

I have a B7200 non-hydrostatic. As I understand how this sort of transmission operates I can/should not change gears while on a slope; I would need to brake to not roll down the hill but can't move after changing gear with the brake depressed. Yesterday I attempted a very simple project on one...

Thanks for the background lugbolt! Much more context around this. I was really wondering why they didn't re-circulate. It sounds like it's evolved to re-circulate in newer engines but not without it's drawbacks. "When you get a lot of air coming out of it, and/or oil, that means that combustion...

Ok. I'll have to keep an eye on it to get a better sense of the rate.

Thanks torch. About 360 hours and it still is counting I think. Ok. The engine itself doesn't smoke at all. I want to see if I can do what you suggest and inspect the breather element.

Also just found this. Does this seem right?

Thanks. While reading your response I thought of maybe replacing it with a clear bottle so I can monitor it better. But fundamentally I'm left wondering why is there even something like this in the first place? Where does this oil come from? Why doesn't it re-circulate with whatever lubricant...

Yes! Triple. Only the best

Thanks! Looks like oil - the bottle is less than half full.

Can you identify the small housing and tube/pipe that comes up and out from the head cover (see included images)? I have a B7200, non-HST, I recent got this and am trying to figure out why there's a black, plastic bottle being used as a receptacle from that housing + pipe/tube (and how concerned...

As I mentioned in this post I was not disengaging from gear (pressing the clutch) before braking. I didn't understand that the brake wasn't doing it for me. I learned a lot in that thread! But before that (when I was braking incorrectly) I would hear grinding and then the engine would stall (as...

Wow. I can't believe I worded that way. Doh.

Thanks. It says 350 hours but I don't know if/how many times it's turned since it only has three digits plus the white one for fractions of an hour. The condition doesn't seem great but I don't know enough yet to know if it's just appearance and small fixes or costly neglect.

Thanks the 'why' is always important
