Can 4x4 be dis-engaged on B8200 non-hydro?

[phildac]

Looking at buying a B8200D 4x4 Standard Trans. Haven't gone to look at it yet, but was curious if the 4x4 can be dis-engaged to make it 4x2 or rear wheel drive only. Also do they still have the Diff. lock on the 4x4's?

Thanks,
Phil

I Know there is a Lever to use 2WD or 4WD.

I am not sure about the Differential Lock though, I beleive there is one, but only for use when Driving in a Straight Line.

I am sure someone will Verify for both of us soon.

I have owned a b6000, a b7200 and a b8200. All had diff lock.The b8200 can be taken out of 4 wheel. Mine is a lever on the left hand side below and in front of the seat, up is 4 wheel down is 2 wheel.

Thanks bubbaboss and dusty-t for the info, unfortunately it sold in less than 24Hr. It was a prestine 1986 all original B8200D 363hrs paint was perfect included a 6ft blade. The guy was asking $4200USD. Talk about a deal, it went fast. Guess I'll continue fixing up my B8200E.

Too bad you couldn't have gotten your hands on that one. The good ones do go quick! Great price as well.

Just Curious, Was there a Mower, and FEL on it too for that price? or just the Blade.
