B7200 3 point linkage (looking for)

[Work Horse]

Basically it's just as the title says. I have a 3ph that I have yet to use and would like to start utilizing it. I'm hoping to eventually get a ballast box, York rake, and a trailer hitch receiver.. looks like the linkages are pretty much obsolete and the kits online don't have great reviews. Any advice/help on where I can get a proper kit?

Also - I got a leak coming from the top of the hydraulic block. I've replaced the O-rings twice now and it still leaks - not much during use, but after I shut the tractor down for the night, there's a puddle on the ground the next morning. Any ideas? Thanks.

You'll need to point out exactly where it's leaking (pictures are a must).

I can do that later today. The leak is at the high pressure side of where the hydraulic block meets the pump via a banjo bolt. I replaced both O-rings twice and still leakage.. I'm wondering if there is excessive pressure for some reason? FEL works great, minor leakage during use, followed by a puddle the next morning.

For your attachments I would recommend palletforks.com for the ballest box and 3pt trailer hitch, they also sell an inexpensive york rake, alternatively TSC or similar for a york rake. Palletforks include shipping in their prices.
Good luck with your purchases.

Here's pics of the leaking point. I believe it starts up top and works its way down. I do not want to overtighten - as I've already snapped/replaced one of the banjo bolts already.

Thank you, I'll have to check them out! Any recommendations for a 3 point linkage kit? I was a bit uneducated when I bought the tractor - never realized I would need more than what was on the tractor in order to use implements. Doh!

What are you missing on your 3 point ( photo)?

What are you missing on your 3 point ( photo)?

I believe I have everything except for the "arms" and linkages I've seen other tractors with. Maybe they aren't necessary with all implements? Idk, just trying to figure out what I need before I order an implement and can't use it.

Yes you need a lot! You are missing the main lower lift arms, link arms to the upper lift arms that you have, you are missing stabilizing links and also the top link.

you may find it difficult and expensive to find all these missing parts. I found a listing on eBay that was $210 for a 3 point hitch kit for a Kubota B series tractor, it seemed to have all parts included maybe you will get lucky.

That's pretty much what I was finding in a search as well.. some of them don't have the greatest reviews (cheap flimsy metal, incorrect parts etc) guess I'll have to do some digging around. Maybe find what I need off a wrecked tractor.

Here's a pic of the oil pool after I park the tractor.. I'm wondering if the O rings, banjo bolt and lines need to be completely dried before installing/tightening the bolt down? Again, the leak is barely present during use but gets much worse after the machine is shut down.
