Hi All, great site! Just bought a B8200HST with front loader, backhoe, and new snowblower! Has a few hours on it, more than "as advertised", but... So, ran it for several days, and as of this afternoon, attempted to start it, but all I heard was the starter winding, saw some sparks and said, well, that is not good! 
Checked out the starter and it backed out of its position, bolts worked their way out, must have been stripped (see comment above about "hours"..). Turns out I found a bolt below the tractor, but based on its dimensions, does not match in anyway the bolt I found online later, M10x1,25x28mm. I looked at the starter at the time, looks like the heads and part of the bolt up to the nuts must have previously snapped, as it appears that the nuts welded on the back of the flange are fine, but the ends of the bolts are still in the nuts. Anyone see this? I will try to extract the ends of the bolts and install new bolts tomorrow. Lots of work to do!
