Sounds like what Firefox had was different than what is on my tractor as mine uses the original manual steering box and has no hoses behind the dash. Mine is similar to what the early Ford Mustangs etc. had except that the cylinder and valve assembly is all one unit minimizing the need for...

When I purchased my B7200HST-D in 1985 the dealer offered me the option of dealer installed OEM Kubota power steering. At the time I did not go for it but did purchase it a couple of years later as a kit from the dealer and installed it myself while I was building a subframe for my backhoe...

Have not received this years renewal yet but I would think that with all the disasters like floods, fires and severe storms that seem to be increasing that my rates will increase.

No such thing as free shipping to Canada. Some time ago I ordered a A/C charge label for a car that I restored. Label was about 1 1/2" x 3" and cost under $5. The supplier that was just across the border from me wanted an astounding $60 for shipping. I called and spoke to the manager who...

Anyone who has never admitted doing anything stupid is either a liar or has never done anything. The first day I got my tractor I slid sideways into the ditch by the road. Tried to get out but just didn't have enough power. Ended up calling a tow truck. That night in bed I thought, you...

Re: Furnace too a dump... I would certainly for now just replace the capacitor to get it going. Your furnace must be a multi-speed motor and probably has permanently lubricated bearings that might be difficult to add oil to. Early Bryant (Carrier) condensing furnaces had heat exchanger...

???? My 7200 has almost 2000 hours on it and I have virtually operated all those hours in 4wd as they were designed for and as Wolfman says. I have tried to operate in 2wd when I do occasionally use it for cutting grass thinking that I might save some wear and tear on parts but usually switch...

Had this happen a few years ago. Speed rod broke and was able to get tractor on my trailer by using a long screwdriver to operate. Took to dealer who wanted mega bucks to split the tractor to get at the part. I told them I would take it home and cut a hole in the side of the frame above the...

I had a similar issue a few years ago. The linkage connecting it to the transmission behind the side of the tunnel had broken. Dealer wanted to split the tractor to make the repair. I used a hole saw and cut a access hole through the side to get the pin out so the linkage could be removed and...

If replacing hoses you certainly want to go to a proper hydraulic shop for good quality hoses which are not cheap. When I built my log splitter 20 years ago the three hoses were over $200. I blew a bucket curl hose on my loader a few years ago. When the hose blew it sprayed vertically and...

I have rebuilt both on my B7200 4-5 years ago. Do tons of loader work so mine get a lot of wear. The last one that went literally split the inner race in half. Fortunately I keep an eye out for oil leakage so nothing else was damaged. About $100 in parts and a bit of time and I am back to...

Battery life expectancy is generally all over the board. I usually get 5 - 6 years out of a tractor battery. I just replaced my Kubota battery after about 6 years. The last one was still starting the tractor on first try. If not it would rapidly lose power. I have had car batteries last...

The only concern I would have with using a larger linear actuator would be the drain on the battery as these tractors have limited alternator capacity. Would be dependent on the frequency of operation. Good option if it works and certainly simpler to install. I installed a small one on my...

My last furnace was a Bryant high efficient. I had to replace the inducer impeller a couple of times due to vibration. The steel hub in the center of the blade was not stainless and would corrode from the acidic moisture in the exhaust. This corrosion would distort the plastic impeller and...

Here is a picture of a splitter I built a few years ago. I use the pto pump from my backhoe. Works great! Love the ability to easily travel to the work site. I guess if I ever sell it, it will have to be a package deal :)

The internet had not been invented when I bought mine :)

B7200 hst 4wd purchased new in 1985. 1900 hours.

A bx with fel & bh was stolen three weeks ago from a small construction site in Cayuga On. Frequently saw it prior and always wondered why it wasn't secured. On main road with a coffee shop across from it.

I have a B7200 hst with a woods 650 BH. I have dug basements and driveways with it without any issues. Just recently dug 600 feet of trench 6' deep. For anything deeper than 6' I just dig a ramp. Just takes longer than a larger BH but labor is free. For tree stumps I either rent a grinder or...

I clear a 4000 foot driveway with a 1985 B7200 hst 4wd 17hp and front mount 50" blower without any issues. With the hst I just slow down a bit with heavier snow. Most of the time I just hammer down a path with my 4wd truck and only occasionally have to use the blower.
