Help!!!, with B8200D Hydraulic Problem

[RRRAVEN]

Am posting this for a friend and myself as I am trying to help to get his machine workable again. He went to use his B8200D the other day and has almost no use of his hydraulics. The front bucket barely moves and the rear implement attachment will barely go up and down. The fluid level is fine and the machine has no hydraulic fluid leaks. Does anyone know the location of the hydraulic filter or suction strainer? He does not have an owners manual or repair manual. If I move the needle valve from the A to B position on the valve body located next to your right foot I can get the hydraulics to work slightly but that's it. Any idea's? Thanx in advance!

The hydraulic strainer looks like a large bolt on the right side below the rear fender. If you do a search on this site I'm sure you'll see some pictures. Try under B6200 and B7200 as they are very similar. Sorry it's to late to take a picture.

Thank you DsBota! I'm going to check it out for him Sunday morning. Hopefully this is the culprit. He keeps telling me he needs to buy a service manual maybe he can get himself one for Christmas!

 

[DsBota]

No problem. The cap is about inch and a half wide with I think about a 21 mm or larger bolt head on it. i hope thats the culprit as it's a easy fix.

Here's a page from my WSM showing the left strainer on my B7200. I have one on the right as well. Be sure to drain the oil first

Is it a gear drive or hydrostat. Mine is hydro and the filter is under the left fender. On the hsd model (hsd = hydrostat) I think there are also two screen filters like in the pic from Ds. My book is in the shop. If no one else clears that up, I will look in the morning. Dusty

Nope, there is only one strainer on mine too. Right where Ds said it would be. Dusty

Didn't get a chance to look at it Sunday but I'll be checking it out Tuesday after work. Thanx to all of you for your information and photo's. I'll let you know how I make out.

Success! Pulled the banjo bolt/strainer and what do you know the strainer was completely clogged/sludged over. Cleaned it real good with solvent and blew it dry with compressed air. Reinstalled and refilled the hyd. fluid and presto, front and rear hydraulics are working great! I'm still going to push my neighbor into getting that service manual for the next time I (and I stress the "I as in me" part) have to work on his tractor!
Thanx again!

 

[DsBota]

That's great! Such a quick and cheap fix. Wonder what other fluids should be changed?

 

[dusty-t]

Fairy tale ending. That is great. It is so good to hear when some thing turns out to be that easy to fix. Your buddy owes you. Good job. Dusty
