B7200 hydraulic steering

[Russell King]

Here are some a thread on front mounted pumps to give you an idea of what is needed. (These links may not get to the first page so be sure you get to the first post if you want to.)

power steering for B6100

Its a taper fit clamping ring. It fits over a thin walled hub and when you tighten the bolts it pulls the two flanges together squeezing the ID in against the wall of the hub and clamping it to the shaft. Similar in concept to a taper lock pully. Dan Man I’m learning so much with you guys...

B6100 front loader hydraulic pump

In 1980 I put a front loader attachment kit on my B6100. It still works but has lost its oomph. I would like to replace the hydraulic pump. How do I find one that matches the application?

B7100D hydraulics and adding a FEL

Hey guys, just wanted to give an update. I've had the Westendorf TA55 frontloader on there for a while now with no problems! I've got ~25 hrs of heavy front loader work with no issues. I ended up fabricating a pump shaft using the female spline of flange 66704-88530 to 3/4" keyway stock and a...

Thanks - adding a pump to the mid pto sounds appealing if it weren't for the mid-mount mower getting in the way. I 3 re

Thanks - adding a pump to the mid pto sounds appealing if it weren't for the mid-mount mower getting in the way. I might still have to come up with a way to mount a pump to the front so I can leave the mower alone.

Should be s piece of cake for a guy with a lathe. . The crankshsft pulley on my DT had three theaded holes for mounting a splined male hub. Just turn up a keyed hub to replace the splined Kubota hub and hang the pumo on the frame. Simple and well protected. Easier than the other fabrication projects you have already completed.

You can get a small 2 GPM SAE AA two bolt gear pump that will supply the PS for <$150. They are "tiny^ and max out around 4 GPM.

A much larger SAE A pump would get you a lot more flow and drive the loader but it will be harder to fit in and now you are back to also needing a flow divider.

Thanks Dan - I like your confidence

As I said earlier in another post I find no difference with the power steering on my LX2610 than the OEM power steering that I installed on my previous B7200 HST. I think that during normal loader operation you seldom are steering at the same time that you are lifting up on the loader.

Steering while operating the loader is essential for most people.

Your LX has a separate PS pump that makes that possible.

The OEM.power steering system on a B7200 used a priority flow divider to make that possible.

I've definitely thrown my hat over the fence....paid for the BX hydraulic steering parts from Mossy Creek Outdoors today so there's no backing out now.

Just need to wait for the bits to arrive and find a pump and work out how to get it mounted.

I have seen your work. It wont be any challengr.

Thanks Dan, I still like your confidence, and it's always a challenge.

I’m sure you can get this done! There is nothing nearly as complex as the loader to build. Just keep asking questions and getting answers when needed.

But have you made the decision to power just the steering with a pump or are you going to do the steering and FEL both with the new pump? Sorry I have kind of lost track of your plan.

I know at the front of my L185 there is a weight bracket that bolts to the frame so there is already a ready made place to bolt on the mounting plate to hold whatever you come up with. I am pretty sure that your tractor has a similar attachment point.

You could get a 2 stage pump to replace the pump that's on it now.

Thaf wohld be nice but I dont theres room for that.

I think I'll keep it "simple" and leave the loader operating from the original pump and buy a separate pump for the PS. If I make too many changes I'll never finish anything....might never finish anything even if I keep it simple.

I'd have to look at mine a little closer, you might be right.

It was a long time ago but IIRC when I replaced mine it was very cramped quarters.
