Hello all,
A while back I jumped on an eBay auction for the difficult to find portion of a factory Kubota power steering kit for the older B series tractors. Namely, the hydraulic cylinder, drag link and the mounts. I even managed to get the seller to include the rubber lines and the two steel lines that cross over the tractor and attach to the top of the hydraulic block.
My question is, if I can find a source for the factory three steel hydraulic lines and hydraulic block from a B8200, will they be a direct bolt-in on my B7200? I believe that the B8200 block was used on the B7200 as part of the upgrade kit because it has the two power steering ports on top. The stock B7200 block does not. I'm just not sure if the three steel lines from the B8200 would be direct bolt-in replacements for the steel lines on the B7200. Or would I be better off going some other route to get the fluid to/from the cylinder?
I'm almost certain that I've seen pictures of B7200s with factory PS that have the B8200 hydraulic block. But the stock B7200 block has one line in from the pump and one line out to the 3-point whereas the B8200 block has one line in and two lines out?
Thanks in advance for any thoughts/suggestions.
