Had some steel left over from another project so I turned it into a toolbox. It slides on and off and is held in place with a couple of pins - easy to fit and remove if needed. I added a couple of new support tubes about 6" higher than the original ones as the ballast box hit the tool box when...

The standard turf tyres on my B7200 are showing signs of age. The treads are not too bad but the sidewalls have loads of cracks. The standard tyres are: - Front 20.5x8-10 - Rear 31x13.5-15 When I first bought the tractor a few months ago I knew the tyres weren't great, and I imagined I would...

I can't get the steel to start making the loader bucket until Monday, so I made a start on a ballast box. I did a really unusual thing - using offcuts rather than buying new and adding to the offcut stock. It's meant the empty box is going to be pretty heavy since I've used 50x50x5 SHS and...

Since making the FEL and SSQA mount I've been planning to make a set of SSQA pallet forks, but no rush....until I was going to need them to unload a pallet of a truck at home this afternoon. So a couple of days ago I got started on the frame, and picked up the steel for the forks yesterday...

Not sure if this is the right spot for it, but here's some progress on a press brake I'm making so I can make a bucket for the FEL, ballast box, tool box.... I bought the tooling, and a couple of air-over-hydraulic 20 tonne jacks and making the rest. Used the FEL to move the base that weighs...

Now that I've driven the tractor (B7200HSTD) with the loader attached I've noticed a pretty decent increase in steering effort. And that's with only the loader arms and SSQA adaptor, no bucket, no additional load. The front tyres are already at the max pressure. The steering is also really...

After mowing for about 20 minutes a week ago I noticed steam coming from the radiator overflow tube. The outside of the radiator and the screen in front of it are all clear. Looking in the top of the radiator, the only cores I can see appear to be mostly full of rust. Not sure what the rest of...

The original muffler had to go as it was in the way of the support frame for the front loader I'm making. I made a new square flange and welded on the exhaust tube. The thread on the old exhaust mount studs were pretty rusted. Two came out on but the other two broke off so I drilled them out...

G'day all When I've used the search function it appears to provide results across the entire site. If I wanted to limit the search, for example to search for 'B7200' only in the Wheels and Tires forum, is there a

The first thing I made for our "new" B7200 was a ROPS. I bought the tractor to build and fit a front loader, and thought it would be better to have the ROPS first, as if I built the loader first I would be tempted to use it without a ROPS. The mounting is based on pics of a bought one and it's...

G'day all I'm in the process of building a front loader for my recently acquired B7200 and have a question about pins and bushes. I've bought some steel bushes with greasable 5/8" pins that are normally used for trailer leaf springs (see pic). In loaders such as the B1630/B1640 would it be...

G'day all I recently bought my first tractor - a Kubota B7200HSTD with a 60" RC60-72H mid mount mower deck. So far I've found that attaching and removing the mower deck is not so easy, with the most difficult part being connecting the PTO shaft under the tractor. The uni joint on the end of...
