New to me B8200

[Millennial]

How's it going guys. Just bought a very used B8200 that runs really good but seems that it was neglected for some time. Also the whole body panels on this thing are completely rusted out, so in the future I'll be in the hunt for a new body. I bought it to mow my lawn but dang Finish mowers are hard to find, not looking to buy a new one but we will see. I also did air filter, fuel filter, oil filter, every grease fitting I can find. I am also letting the hydraulic fluid drop out overnight, it was straight milk and cream colored and then at the end a bunch of straight water came out. So I am letting it drain overnight, gonna pull the strainer in the morning. It's 2WD and originally came with a belly mower but it didn't come with it. What was left on was the stupid pulley on the rear PTO that had a taper lock. Took about 2 hours to get that stupid thing off.

Looks like your going to need three point arms too.

Sorry about the pictures. I also forgot to say that it came with the 3 point hitch arms. I just have them off to break them loose and grease all the adjustments, which is proving to be a pain. I am not sure what to think about this tractor as far as wear and tear. Everything was in pretty rough shape but small things are still good. I got the tachometer working again, confirmed the tach drive unit still had the tab, pretty sure I need a new cable but I got it working. This thing hardly uses any diesel. I don't have any attachments yet so I can't put a real load on it, but I filled it up and dang the fuel level us only moved about half an inch.

That's not rust it's character.

It always amazes me how beat up they can be and still run and run!

And Santa came early this year and gave me an older woods 5' finish mower!! I got it in the back of the truck and am gonna unload it with a neighbors front end loader in the morning. Blades need sharpening and the deck needs some new paint and grease! Here are the pictures for everybody else who didn't get to see them.

Hey, you got that pulley off way too easy. Coachgeo fiddled for days to get his off!! Why were the 3pt arms removed when you got it?

 

[Millennial]

They were on there when I got it, I just removed them to clean them up real good. Yeah there is a trick with the pulley. After you get the pulley pushed back in the pto shaft, you use a 3 claw puller. The stupid taper lock flange will come right off

Millennial,

Congrats on the B8200. Reminds me of when I got my B8200 and the PITA it was to get the sheave off from the 5' woods belly mower that was on it. Here is the link with pics from when I first got it, to how it looks today.
