    Rewiring my B8200

    I think I'm going to take those harnesses out of the picture and properly crimp and shrink wrap them. They all look bad. The back harness you point out, that wire is the heavy wire from the alternator to charge the battery, so it wouldn't surprise me if that was problematic as well. I guess...

    Rewiring my B8200

    Found the issue. The hot wire going from the battery to the key switch went through a wiring harness, which melted and shorted out with other stuff. Was realy confusing me, because hte wire at the key showed 12v, but when I tried to bump the starter iwth it, nothing happened, because it was...

    Diesel Fuel

    Re: Deisel fuel I always add dieselkleen to mine. Anti-gel, injector cleaner, anti-bacterial, centane booster. It's fairly inexpensive, a bottle treats 250 gallons iirc. I also add it to my home heating oil. Cheap insurance, similar to the fuel stabilizer you'd put in gasoline engines.

    Rewiring my B8200

    I've seen some of the dealer prices. The wiring harness is 7 different harnesses. The other regulator is right behind hte alternator under the hood. At least that's what I think it is, it could just be a box wire goes through.

    B8200 Tachometer

    Thanks for hte feedback. My hour meter does't have a tach, which makes me think it might have been replaced at some point. Which also would mean i may not actually be at 650 hours... However the bottom of hte engine is bone dry, so who knows. The cable is there, just disconnected and not...

    Rewiring my B8200

    So both 17 and 19 are hot, with no ground? Or ground feeds through the plugs? Edit: nevermind, it hought that through, it makes sense now.

    Rewiring my B8200

    I wasn't actually able to locate the fusable link in that mess. Looks like someone's been in there already fiddling around. I'm just not sure what this other black box is.

    Rewiring my B8200

    Thanks for the vote of confidence. Any chance you can tell me what that second black box is towards the bottom? No switches or anything of the sort. Not exposed outside, just sits there and isn't exposed. Also there's a second voltage regulator, I think, under the hood. These aren't on my...

    Rewiring my B8200

    Fort he past few days i've been plagued with electrical woes. Turn the key to start, and the oil light , glow plugs, headlights wouldn't come on. Which means no starting. Turn the key to glow plugs, and nothing. Turn the key to start, and no starter. I took the dash off and tried to trace down...

    B8200 Tachometer

    My b8200 has an hour meter, but no tachometer. Any idea what it should be running at, and how to verify? I don't want to run it harder than I should.

    Brought home a B8200 today

    Everything working well, except i have minor pieces missing here and there to hook up the various attachments. Here it is, completely dwarfing the b7200. There are 4 pieces i'm missing. If anyone could tell me where I could source them, part numbers, or anything, I would really appreciate it.

    Brought home a B8200 today

    Starts and runs perfect. Has little things, like a slight whine when you first start out. All fluids are full, nothing is wet on the under side. Going to remove the winch on the front and put a snowblower and belly mower I have on it. Have a 3pt blade as well that would be nice with the...

    Fathers implements on my tractor

    Thanks for the info. They look identical. The only limitation I can see is my father's b7200 has hydraulic lines and a lever for his bucket that is also used for the 60" blower, but I don't see the 8200 having that. I can rig fitment, but pulling hydraulics out of thin air is a different story.

    Fathers implements on my tractor

    Years ago my father bought a B7200 with FEL. Hydro, 4wd, turf tires. It also came with a front mount snowblower and belly mower. He never used the blower and belly mower. My mower tractor died, and while browsing for new ones, I came across a B8200. I thought, great, I can use the attachments...
