B 8200 hydraulic problems

[PaulNeFlorida]

Hi. new to the group. Grew up on my dads L 225 Kubota and I'm 59 now... Just bought a new to me 80s B 8200 set up with turf tires. Seems like a good machine but a couple of issues and one is serious. No Hyd lift at the 3 point arms. arms move freely but absolutely no lift. Fluid is a little milky and also was way over full...Initial plan is to change all the fluids and filters in the tractor but I would appreciate any thoughts on the hydraulics...I don't want to just start changing parts unless I can find a reason. Thanks for any suggestions. Paul

Over full and milky sounds like water in the system.

I would drain it and replace / clean filters and screens and replace hydraulic fluid.

Have you tried turning the knob under the seat?

drain it and replace the fluid and filter screen (its inside the tractor) theres a nut to access it. My 8200 is at another location or i would take a picture for you. My screen looked ok but hydros still wouldn't work right until i replaced it.

Might want to see if you can figure out how the water got in there.

I picked up 5 gallons of Hyd/transmission oil yesterday. Gonna drain...clean the screen and I'll be back with the results...Thanks for the suggestions so far...
