When I got my new B7200HST almost 30 years ago I drove into a 3' ditch on my first day and could not climb out of it. I am thinking what kind of a tractor is this and called a tow truck to get me out. I had seen these tractors operating at the farm shows etc. and wondered what was wrong...

I just went through this exact problem last week. Thankfully I always check the engine oil level every time I go to use the tractor. The first time I noticed it I just took out some of the oil as I had just recently changed the oil and filter and thought that I might have just over filled it...

Just can't beat power steering on these tractors. I added the factory kit to my tractor about four years after I bought it new. I started digging out a basement for an addition I was adding and got tired of manhandling the steering with a full bucket and turf tires in close quarters. I am...

If this is a brand new tractor I would not do a thing to it except call the dealer. If you play with it you can void the warranty. Just read your last post, do you have a safety cut out switch under the seat that might be open. Use to call these dead man switches.

These smaller tractors really do require a sub frame when doing loader work. When I got mine in "85" and put a backhoe on the back I quickly determined that it needed support as I broke the top three bolts at the top of the bell housing. All that was available in Canada at the time was the...

Just replaced the hydraulic pump on my backhoe. For some time I have had to have the PTO on high speed and engine RPM's over 2000 to achieve normal control. Just like brakes on a car. They loose efficiency so gradually that you only realize how bad they were after they are replaced.

I found that mine had gotten bent severely last year and I just hammered it straight with a good hammer and wood to protect the threads. Straightened back perfectly. One side of the adjusting rod had been broken off years ago so I took the opportunity to weld in a new one and put on a fresh...

Agreed! I have been on other forums, some for almost ten years and have tapered down my reply's due to various reasons. I have had numerous occasions where I have spent considerable amount of time attaching electrical drawings and then explaining in detail how a system works only to either...

Welcome, I would probably just put a magnetic heater on a flat surface such as the bottom of the oil pan. I have never had any issues starting mine in the winter but I always have a battery tender hooked up to the battery. I try to reduce the amount of power using items because of the high...

I love it! The instructions that Wolfman gave might be on a label under the hood and will be for your model of tractor. I had a gentleman farmer friend give me a call some time ago when he ran out of fuel on his older IH diesel tractor. I asked him if he wanted the good news or the bad news...

Amen to that. My under mount mower came with my tractor 30 years ago and looks like new. Cant remember when I used it last. A complete pain to install and remove especially if you have to do it on the ground. I was told originally that you can drive over them with the front wheels to help in...

Paul, That is one mod I plan on doing to my Woods B/H. Looks great! Just one question, What do you use for your graphics? I have been looking for some software since I restored a Ditchwitch trencher a few years back and the replacement decals were not available anymore.

Up here in Canada when asked for English or French I just ask for French. You are immediately re-directed back to Canada and they have to be bi-lingual and can speak English.

I have hit a ton of rocks etc. with mine over the years and other than creating a lot of dings on the inside and dulling the blades I have done no other damage to mine. The blades are on pivots and just bounce off of objects and swing out of the way. Mine is a JD and has a shear pin where the...

I have a 48" tiller that I use behind my B7200 HST without any problem. That been said it would certainly go faster with more HP. When I was shopping for one the first thing I was always asked was whether or not my tractor was HST. With HST you can control your speed better. Of course I...

Too bad they don't design in a method of separating the two pto's. Not crazy running my backhoe pump when I am running the front blower. Might have to make up a weight box or change the pump bracket so I can pull it off of the rear pto.

I am very well aware that this is not a differential and there is no adjustment but if the OP finds no other reasons (sloppy bearings etc.) for this obvious improper contact area on the teeth I am only suggesting other possible areas to explore. I would never install a new gear against an...

Tried to go back and read the entire thread to verify this but I was wondering if the two gears were not replaced as a set you could just be experiencing the effect of having the original pinion wear not meshing correctly with the new bull gear. It is always recommended that when changing out a...

Just noticed in the photo that the contact wear in the top pinion gear teeth seems to be concentrated inboard close to the bearing and not evenly along the face of the gear teeth. This would result in all the force been placed on this end and it would appear that the tooth on the lower gear...
