    B8200 battery troubles...

    Hi all, I accidentally left my key in in 'on' position a couple of weeks ago, and so when i went to mow my lawn last weekend, the battery was predictably dead. This has happened many times over the years, so I did not think much of it. I jumped it from my car, and used the tractor for an hour...

    B8200 Collection System - any options?

    Dan, Thanks for the reply, and indeed you are right. I ended up buying a DR. The one challenge I encountered though was finding a boot that would mate with the deck on my old RC60-92H deck. All of the adapter 'kits' for sale were too small (including the DR branded one). I ended up finding...

    B8200 Collection System - any options?

    I have a B8200 HST 4x4 from the mid to late 80's with an RC60-92H belly mounted mower deck. My lawn is a well fertilized and irrigated acre (give or take), and I frequently have a need to bag my clippings, but even worse leaf season is coming!! I have seen protero and terra king both make a...

    B8200 - Creeping slowly

    Eureka! This issue is resolved, but for the benefit of any others that are looking for a solution (or for myself in 10 years when I have to do this again), here is how it went. After doing more research online I was able to find a post where somebody had the same issue with a B7100. It turns...

    B8200 - Creeping slowly

    I just picked up a Workshop manual, so that will be my bedtime reading tonight! I am also posting a few picture I took here. You cannot really see much of the mechanism here, but you get a sense for the pedal and access points. After I took these, (and on another commenters advice) I removed the...

    B8200 - Creeping slowly

    This is a great suggestion. Thank you. Lots of sites will give you the owners manual for free, but the WSM apparently will cost you. This site has one for only $20, which seems like money well spent for this and future complications... -Michael

    B8200 - Creeping slowly

    Thank you, I have a mid-mount mowing deck mounted on it now, so I would have to pull that off to be able to get under there. I will investigate whether it would even be worth doing that. If I were to lubricate some points in the linkages, what product would be ideal? I have a tube of NLGI #2...

    B8200 - Creeping slowly

    Hi All, I've been searching these forums and see a lot of similar issues, but was hoping somebody could help me zero in on a fix for my particular issue. I have a 1988 (I *think* that is the year) B8200 HST with the 4WD option, and after I take my foot off the forward HST pedal it continues to...
