    Cranking set back

    It worked! Thanks to all. This site is great. I cleaned the battery cable terminals. Got a new battery. Drained the fuel. Put in a new filter. Cleaned the filter bowl (which was full of crud), and pre-filled it about 1/2 full. Bled the air out of the system with that screw knob. Now it fires in...

    Cranking set back

    I bought a new battery. Going out to clean all of the ends now. Here is a question regarding the fuel and possible water. What are the steps to get rid of the old? I could disconnect the line from the tank to the filter to drain the old fuel, but would I lose "prime"? I obviously replace the...

    Cranking set back

    thanks for the great input. I'll look into it this weekend. Might as well thanks. i'll check tonight or this weekend. I've had it 3-4 years, with the same battery, so that's an easy place to start. i have jumpers made out of welding cable. would you jump from a running car battery and attach to...

    Cranking set back

    I've owned a B6200 for about 3 years. Usually I warm the glow plugs for 10-15 secs, and it fires up in about 5 secs (I live in NC). It never fails. We went overseas for over a month and I inadvertently left the tractor uncovered. When I came back I worried if I'd face starting problems. Sure...

    Losing air

    Just went to the tire guy. There is a sign in his window that says he’s off all next week for the 4th. Bad timing. Discount tire suggests tubes. Might be best option? Any downsides?

    Losing air

    I have a b6200hst. Rear tires (29x12.00-15) worked fine, but were dry rotted everywhere. Finally I found a used Goodyear turf tires 29x12.50-15 to replace them. they looked newish. Had them mounted. A day or two later both were flat. Filled them back to 10psi. the rims look nice from the...

    B6200 29x12.0-15 replacement

    My rear rims have a sticker on them: 29x12.0-15. Currently that is the size tire on those rims. They are dry rotted. I'm assuming it is OK to put a 29x12.5-15 tire on that rim to replace the harder-to-find 29x12.0-15. Is that right? thank you!

    gck60-bx grass catcher to a b6200 with rc48-62h mower deck

    anyone know if the gck60-bx can be adpated to an b6200 with a 48" deck? I don't mind working on it a bit, but obviously if something won't work I don't want to risk buying the grass catcher. Anyone know? thank you! rick

    b6200hst-e newbie transmission fluid change

    thanks. I tried to activate mid PTO, rear PTO, reverse, forward, and drive a bit. will see how it goes. right now the level is the top of the flat portion of the dip stick, which is above the line, but I don't know if that's way high. if it doesn't drop down, I'll drain some more.

    b6200hst-e newbie transmission fluid change

    a report on the transmission change, with a question: I got it done. The good news: fluid was clean, as were the 2 strainers. But here is something baffling: By the book, it takes 14.3 qts = a bit over 3 1/2 gallons. Only perhaps 2 3/4 gallons came out. Then, when I was refilling, I put in a 2.5...

    b6200hst-e newbie transmission fluid change

    first time doing this. I've searched all over trying to find a thorough write up, but haven't found one. So a couple of questions before I try it tomorrow: 1. Are there 3 places to drain the fluid: under the mid PTO, and each side of the rear axles? Those have a dab of orange paint on them...

    leaf/grass pick up b6200

    My wife informed me that she'd like all of the grass and leaves picked up so she can use it in her compost pile. Any ideas on grass/leaf pick up for an older b6200 that won't break the bank.? I don't mind trying to build something but I figure this group has some ideas. thank you.
