    D950 Seeking Reputable source for used/rebuilt head

    Has anybody used Grainfarmer.com ? They seem to have the best price I can find on a used D950 Head for my B8200 HST. Is there a better source? Apparently local is about $1200 whereas their site says $750 with free shipping.

    help! B8200HST: How does Directional Valve work for hydraulics?

    I was having the tractor picked up this evening for repair, and hastily went to adjust the directional valve (having never done so before) since I have the loader removed. The label on the tractor (pictured below) says "When the hydraulic outlet A is not in use, turn the directional valve...

    Will D905 radiator fit D950 engine in B8200HSD

    There are new D905 radiators locally on Craigslist at a great deal. I have a B8200HSD with a D950 engine. Does it use the same or compatible radiator? I can't find a part number for the D905 which is apparently what's used in a B1700 tractor.

    How do I remove G&G PTO guard?

    I wasn't sure whether to post this in implements or maintenance and repair. A couple of weeks ago I bought a WW Grinder Super Apache chipper/grinder/shredder to use with my Kubota B8200HSD. It was used very little but allowed to sit in the elements. WW Grinder is long out of business, the...

    oily water found under B8200HST

    I fired my B8200HST up today and used it very lightly. I mostly let it idle. In total it was less than an hour. I mounted, moved and unmounted my tiller and mounted my rear blade. I also rode it around the yard for 5 minutes. In between these activities it idled. I had just replaced the...

    Is B8200HST supposed to use (up) coolant

    A quote from the WSM: A full tank of coolant is enough for one day's work. Make it a rule to check the level of coolant prior to operation. Checking the coolant each day before operation makes a lot of sense. And if working it hard one should pay attention to signs of overheating or fluid...

    B8200HST Hour/Tach drive access?

    I bought a new tach/hour meter drive and thought it would be a simple matter of removing four nuts and the gasket and putting the new one in. But there is another metal part with coolant hoses attached at both end that shares the lower two studs with the tach drive. I would need to pull that...

    How to unload 500# tiller from truck bed with loader?

    Wasn't sure if this should go in the tractor operating or the implement forum. I just bought a nearly 500# tiller that the seller loaded into the back of my little Nissan pickup. He used his tractor loader with some chain to drop it in the bed. I didn't pay close attention to how he had it...

    B8200HST Decompression Lever Stuck

    I got a 1987 B8200HST a few weeks ago. So far I'm very happy with it. I've been going through trying to see what needs fixing and how it is supposed to work. One thing that doesn't appear to be as it should is the decompression knob. If I pull on it nothing happens. If I follow the cable...
