Location of Vent For Hydraulics on B6200

[B6200Dave]

Hi All,

This is my first time posting although I have been a enjoying this site and the information for some time!! I was hoping that one of the great posters on this site could help me out with a problem . I have a B6200 HST (2WD) and have a problem with the hydraulic fluid overflowing from the dip stick and containing a lot of air bubbles when the tractor is warm. The fluid is fine (both issues go away) once the tractor cools down.

I read in this forum that the issue may be caused by something as simple as a blocked vent and wanted to rule this out first. The only problem is that I have looked all over the tractor and can't find the vent . I looked under the seat and all around the hydraulics and can't see anything that could be a vent. So, I was hoping that someone could help me out and let me know if there is a vent on the B6200 and where it is. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
Dave

Hi Dave. Welcome to the forum. On my B7200 the vent was at the back of the tractor underneath the bracket that held the top link. On my B8200 it is in pretty much in the same spot but exposed. But your diagnosis sounds right. The vent may be just a small plastic cap or on the 8200 it almost looks like a lift hook but it is hollow. Good luck. Dusty

Dusty ... right where you said it would be ... I would have searched for a year before I ever found it . I really appreciate your help!! It was completely gunked up so I am hoping that resolves the issue ... I'm out to do some work and see if that fixed it.

Hi, can you please specify where this vent actually is?

Its not behind the top link. If you can post a photo that would be great. Thanks
