Hey Topgear. That subframe sure looks strong enough. The fact that it ties into the rear axle housing is good. I see some of the newer tractors that don't have that and I always wondered why they don't. My b7200 has it. Anyway it's looking good so far. Keep us posted.:cool:

Ya thanks Vic, I had it apart a couple years ago to put a new relief valve in. I had an awfull time getting the control arm and regulator arm into that fork thingy. Turned out when I put it together the fork thingy was twisted a bit and the control arm fell out. I'm either going to start using...

Wow what a simple idea. I love it.

The engine actually gets warm now. In the last 4 years it hasn't had to work. But just warm not hot, hydrostat too. I figured I was in for a lot of time and a fair bit of cash to fix this. So far I am really really pleased. But I'm not counting my chickens yet!:D

Hey Ed thanks for the reply. I had dextron in it, flushed it and changed to hydraulic oil. It really surprised me when the power jumped like that.

Ok so it seems that using wynns tranny flush at least in the short term was a good idea. The hydrostat has a lot more power. The 3ph lever was just worn and sloppy and slipped off the fork, but the fork or the internal thingy that looks like an H was turned a bit so that didn't help. Anyway...

Hey Vic And Mr K. maybe you can make a video about what not to do to your B7200.:D

Ok Guys are you ready for this. I really didn't want tear that b7200 apart again.So I put wynns tranny flush through it. I figured if the hydro was pooched anyway so what did I have to lose. Well it will now dam near climb a wall in high range. Three point hitch don't work but I can climb a...

Hey eserv.Yeah the cooler was restricted. Quite a bit. I soaked it in gas for three days,then flushed it with tranny fluid umpteen times. But that was before I had the hydro tested.I only ran it for maybe 10 min before I took it to kubota to have it tested. And so far there does not seem to be...

Well so much for that project. I was going to lie and say that other stuff broke and I didn't have time. And stuff did break down, but that wouldn't stop me from doing the Kubota. When I did the clutch, I had to do the clutch, it was busted and wouldn't move. And doing a clutch is something I am...

Hey Guys. Well it seems the project is on. Did some rippin and tearin tonight. Tomorrow I'll start pulling it apart.So far I have only stripped the the back.One question, in the fourth picture is a little black plastic thingy, is this a vent.

Yup sounds like a plan. I will start tomorrow. I am really slow. 20 yrs worth of rheumatoid arthritis. But I do have a fair bit of sticktoitiveness. I have a wsm and a real good machine shop nearby. Thanks for the advice and if I bugger this up I won't blame anyone but me. And Yeah your brother...

Thanks for the reply eserv. I gather the suction strainer is one of the screens that go through the hydro banjo fittings at the sides of the hydrostat unit. If so I have replaced both with new screens.

Thanks for the reply Vic. I don't suppose there is a rebuild kit available. And yes I would rebuild it myself. Wengers in PA have a used one for a thousand bucks. But I don't need the tractor so I would rather take a crack at rebuilding it myself. But I need to Know I can get the parts I need...

Hey Guys. I took the b7200 to my local dealer because I thought the hydrostat was weak. I called today and they said that they checked the charge pressure it dumped to nothing. They say I need to rebuild the hydrostat. I don't know if he was planning on doing further testing because he said that...

Yes sir, that looks really good.

Thanks Vic. At a $2200 touch my 7200 will be visiting my local Kubota dealer. I am interested in working on the hydrostat but I would not have enough work to justify that kind of expense. And I won't mess with other peoples equipment, so ,its off to Kubota. I Wish you guys were a bit closer. I...

Like Vic said it's pressure test time. New filter new screens new fluid.Pulled the cooler and it was partially plugged. By passed the cooler with a hose drove it around for maybe 10min. The by pass hose was barely warm. It does however seem to work the motor harder in hi range. It will climb a...

Wow that is amazing. I love it. Great work, you are one fussy man and it shows in your work. As far as I'm concerned you can learn a lot from looking at other peoples work. And I like looking at your work.:D

Wow! I really envy you. That is going to be an excellent project. And when you get it done you will have a dynamite tractor as in really good tractor. Good luck and keep us posted.:D
