    B3200 trouble starting

    Mine wouldn't start one day and it turned out that one of the PTO levers (I don't remember if it was rear or center) was not in the neutral position. I started to panic when the engine wouldn't crank. I started checking everything and found the PTO lever issue. It wasn't out of neutral by...

    3200 vs 3800??

    I haven't operated an L3800, but...the 3800 is an L series tractor while the 3200 is a B series. The L series tractors are much heavier than the B's so the extra HP may be needed to make it work the same as the 3200.

    Legs too Short to Reach Pedals

    My wife had the same problem. I thought my idea was the best, I suggested she buy some new boots for when she drives the tractor. These immediately came to mind***8230;. After spending a week sleeping in the barn when the boot idea was rejected, I removed the plate from the bottom of...

    OK to weld?

    It took me all of a minute or so to drop the bucket off my FEL when I welded my hooks on. It may not have been necessary but it was worth the piece of mind to me that I wouldn't have any problems. If you don't want to drop the bucket then I would suggest at least disconnecting the battery...

    piranna tooth bar

    Love mine. It's great for pushing brush around and it bites into dirt much easier. This winter has been a bear and I found it works really well getting thick ice of the driveway.

    Piranha Toothbar

    Word of warning about the Piranha bar.....IT'S VERY SHARP!!!! I always make sure that it's down flat on the floor when I park the tractor in the garage. The last thing you want to do is nail your foot, ankle or shin on the teeth of the bar. They are really sharp from the factory.

    Piranha Toothbar

    I've got a 60" bucket on my B3200, so it's the same as your's on the B3030. It works great ripping out small trees and brush. I burned a big brush pile last month and the toothbar came in handy pushing the brush up on top of the fire. Here's a photo of what the Piranha looks like on the 60"...

    3 Pt Hitch Check Chains - Turnbuckles - cheap

    I've got a set of Mark's stabilizers on my B3200. Makes hooking anything up on the TPH much easier. It takes all of about 5 minutes to install them and once they are on, seconds to adjust when you put an implement on the the TPH.

    Need injection timing specs for B7800

    I know this is an older thread, but I've got a B3200 that I would like to adjust the timing on too. Any updates on how it worked out and did you need to advance or retard the timing? Thanks!

    b77 backhoe question

    I've got a bh77 on my B3200 and I can do multiple movements at the same time....I don't know what I'm doing so I still do one at a time... But, the backhoe is capable of doing it as I tried curling the bucket and gathering in the dipper arm at the same time with no problem.

    Placement of Hooks on Bucket

    I added a section of 3X3 angle across the top of my bucket and welded the hooks to that. I also added clevis mount points on top and one inside the top of the bucket. I also welded a hook on the lower section of the back of the bucket to bring it closer to the tractor in case I needed to lift...

    Is this going to get me hurt or damage my tractor?

    Thanks all. The "pasture" section only gets mowed about once a month. By that time it's too much for the JD lawn tractor. I'm not really looking for a finish mower, just something to knock down and chop up everything. I'm one of those people that hates to borrow tools or things like that...
