I have a B9200 HST that does not want to move. Sometimes it will go forward or reverse very slowly no matter what range it's in. The FEL also will not respond. I have read posts about the suction screen and tried to find it but so far no luck. When I change the filter and oil I know I need to check the suction screen so untill my manuals come in can someone tell me where to look? Appreciate any info anyone can provide.

Thanks for the info. Changed the oil and spin-on filter and now the tractor moves in all 3 ranges but the FEL is slow to respond and motion going up or to curl the bucket is jerky. Is there any need or way to bleed this system to remove trapped air? I/m new at this and could use all the help I can get. Also looks like I have a leaky axle seal, but thats the next task as soon as my manuals come in.

Did you find the suction line screen? I know the B9200 was a very uncommon model, but if it is similar to the B8200, it is just behind the large banjo type bolt just below the foot pedal on the right hand side of the tractor. You will see it likely goes back into the transmission housing. It will be the largest hydraulic line that is there. Taking out the bolt will allow access and removal of the suction screen. Just remember, all the hydraulic fluid will come out!

Finally finished replacing the suction screen and refilled the fluids. Tractor now runs in all 3 ranges and the FEL reaches full height. But only when the machine is cold. Once it heats up, Hyd oil warms up, the bucket stops working and the Hydro starts to make noise power steering jerky. Is this a sign of a worn Hydraulic pump, loosing preasure, flow with thin hot oil?
