Sorry for the mix up the m8200 is a1999, not a 1979.
From What I have learned since purchase , the M8200,and the M9000 difference is the M 9000 is turbo charged
M8200 is not.
Both M8200 and M900 have the same front end loader unites.
History on my M8200:
The unit was bought by a Farmer in PEI , used for 5 years , he died , unit put in storage for a number of years .
Unit started up every rear and ran up.
Widow traded it in on a smaller unit.
I purchased it .
I am looking for a front loader to fit the M8200 .
The Kubota number is LA1251 ,used would be preferred or anothe unit that will work well with aKubota M8200.
i have not taken posession of the unit yet , but I have paid for it.waiting for shipping .
Expect many more questions
All the best
