Old B 9200 putting in food plots

[cthomas]

Yeah, that is the case with a lot of equipment. Have a 3 wheeled mower(trimmer?) that has a cast iron deck, heavier than crap, but you can't tell it is 80 years old(3rd or 4th engine on it) Also have a rototiller that is about the same age that can till rocks, but, beats the crap out of the operator. That's on the second engine after the original one failed(Onan engine). Both were my grandfather's and he got them in his small engine shop(swapped for other work).

You guys seem to think because the hour meter shows 900+ hours that it's surly gone over once. Not so. Many of those tractors would not get to 1K hours in 35 years.

I bought a B8200 new in 1985. Used it for whatever I needed a tractor for on 6 acres, with 3 acres of Christmas trees planted in rows 6' apart and trees 6' apart. I sold that tractor about 5 years ago and I think it had 750-800 hours. I sold it because I had too many tractors and didn't use it much at all.

The B9200 came out about 1996. They were 6" longer then the B8200, primarily so they could put a belly mower under them. Both of those were stout, well built machines.

Agree. My dad bought our B9200 used in 1988 with 20 or so hours on it. Dad is the second owner and meticulous about maintenance records, we have 847 or so hours on it now. Plowing snow, mowing the grass, dragging firewood out of the woods, etc. About 10 years ago dad bought a newer Kubota with a loader, but we liked the old B9200's build quality so much better he kept it.

He's 83 now, my sister and brother-in-law live with them and he doesn't ride the tractor anymore. BIL likes the newer tractor, so the B9200 has been given to my boy. We plan to move to some land in Tennessee in 3 years, so hope to put it to use there!

Moral of the story, still under 900 original hours.

I’ll take some pics and post them in a few days,your description of them sounds right.

The two bars you're talking about, do they have a square end on one and flat plate on the other? If so. those go in the hole at the bottom of the loader towers to hold that end up during storage.

here is a pic from the day I bought the tractor, it needed somerepairs and cleaning.
You can see the arms for the bucket across the hood , but , there are two other arms inside the left loader arm.
I’m not sure what they are for?

When you remove the loader you remove the nut with the lever welded on, one on each side. The tower base will have a hole that fits the end of those two rods. The end with the base sets on the ground surface to hold the back of the loader up.

This post shows the process for removing loader. I put a wood block or brick under each foot so it doesn't sync into the dirt over the winter.

Thanks guys, do any of you know how to remove the loader and how to use the stands that are on it?

Your bucket lacks the 'C' brackets/loops that the kickstands fit into, but you could weld some on.

Is it just me or does this look like an angry Transformer?
