Hey Ob1. I would like to say yes just to be a smartass. But no there is a bracket that bolts to the back and sides of the axle. It had the centering chains for the tph and a really poor example of a rops attached to it. You wouldn't catch me welding cast steel. bin there done that. WOW just the...

joekimtkd I really want to see that blade when it's done. Very cool Idea.:cool:

Wow TopGear that look's fantastic. That loader lifts a lot higher than the one on my B8200. Mind you it was off of a B7200 but still no where near that high. I am thinking I will do some modifications. Great job. It takes a fair size set of stones to take on a project like that. Great job.:D

Couple more. Yes I now know it would have been easier to build it from scratch:o

I am finally getting to work on my B8200. There is a lot more than the cab to be done on this tractor, like a hydro leak where the hydrostat unit was cracked and fixed ,, kindof fixed. I'm hoping jb weld will do the trick. It also needs all kinds of cosmetic work. But!!!! I know how long it...

Hi Killerbee. My b8200 hydro came with factory power steering. It's pretty much the same as your kit, but I think my hydraulic block looks a bit different than yours. I'll take a pic of it tomorrow and post it. I put power steering on my b7200 which has a much simpler hydro block.the only...

Could have been a whole different story. Glad your OK. I don't have a rops on my B8200 but I will be thinking seriously about making one for it. If you can't find one, any welding shop can make one pretty quick. Again glad it was just a close call.:cool:

Hey Guys , thanks for the replies. It seems the clutch is going to have to wait for a while. Sometimes my brain get's ahead of my pocketbook. I am not going to touch it untill I can afford to buy the parts. In the mean time I have an oil leak in the top end. Cheap fix, plus a couple of...

Hey Ob1kubota, I don't even own one of these and I'm getting itchy to find out what's going on with this machine.:D

Well I am finally going to get the tractor in the shop. The clutch is rusted to the pressure plate. I am thinking it has probably been that way for at least a year maybe more. My question is this, if I do the old tie it to a tree and giver trick. What are the chances the clutch is going to come...

Hey John, I was just wondering about that 1inch square tubing to the front of the tractor. The loader on my b8200 has something like 1/2 x 2 flatbar going to the front but the crossbar on the front is like 2 in pipe. Your subframe is super heavy so maybe you don't need much support to the front...

Hey Guys, This thread just keeps coming up with more info. Someone has to get into fixing these old hydrostat units. $1500 for the hydrostat unit is a lot less than I was quoted.They don't seem to be that complicated a unit, yet most of the service techs I talk to have either a blank look or...

I have a B8200 hst and I run a 4 ft single auger blower in mid range on the hydrostat. It is a bit to narrow for the tractor so I am just going to build small wings to widen it about 3 inches. The tractor has no problems with the blower whatsoever. In wet snow I bump up my pto speed. it will...

Hi amishkingpin, I had a 4ft bush hog on my b6000 and it handled it fine. The weight was no problem for the tph but I did find the tractor a bit light on the front end. And I did have to reverse the pins as Michael said. Good luck.:D

Hi cabu, I like the idea of the reel mowers as well. I wonder what they are going do when you try to turn a corner.They would probably have to be mounted on a swivel base. I know they will work well on short grass, but I wonder how well they will work on longer grass. And you will have to...

Hey chiefbuzzbee, the tractor look's great, look's like a home built loader though. As long as it works that 's all that counts. It look's like something I would buy. I bought a steiner a couple of months ago that looked about the same. Put a motor in it threw some paint at it a little bit of...

My B6000 had a reverser on it. But I sold it because some guy from the city held out a big pile of cash. All kidding aside, these tractors are a joy to work on.And you don't need that many tools. 17mm,14mm,12mm these three sizes go a long way on the small kubota's. It seems like you are making...

Thanks for the reply Jerry. Sorry to hear about the R/A , just don't stop working even if it means crawling to the shop. And keep us posted on that B6000. :D

Hey joekimtkd, The fabricator I was telling you about is called Riverside Equipment phone #519-323-4170 ask for Samuel. I'm not sure how busy he is but it is a little while till snow.:D Keep us posted

Ob1kubota I love the handle. I am just a beginner welder, I've been a beginner welder for about 20 years. I only do my own stuff. I've had rheumatoid arthritis for about the same amount of time. I really have to think before I move anything. So it takes me a while to fix or make things. But I...
