Can any of you who have owned kubota b7200's or equivalent give me a hint where to add tractor hydrolic fluid? I remember reading that a lot of you guys cut your teeth on 7100's and 7200's (not to mention worked your arm muscles). The tractor mechanic I bought the tractor from said is is "right next to the dipstic". Well, unless it is those funny things on both side of the transmission that look like screws with a ridge instead of a slot, I can't find it. My tractor makes all kinds of clunking and clinking noises when I have all the hydrolic rams at full extension but not otherwise. The hydrolic fluid is not visable on the dip stick other than the occasional splash so I figure that it is probably a bit low.
I plan on buying a service manual one of the days, but was hoping someone would know. BTW, I did buy what is called "tractor hydrolic fluid" from the local auto parts store and is says on the back that it is suitable for kubota's. I hope it is the right stuff. The local oil dealer said that what I wanted was "tractor hydrolic fluid" and would sell me 5 gallons for 35 dollars. I bought one gallon for 10 dollars at the parts store. Does that sound about right?
tnx.
