    intermittent electrical problem

    Hey all, I hesitated to start a new thread, but all the other stuff I have read through does not quite seem to match my problem, so here goes... This is on a CT225: After running for a short time, the tach stops working. All the other gauges work, including the hour meter, and the tractor...

    CT 225 loader valve repair

    I was working in the woods and it seems a stick got wedged and broke the end of the curl spool on the loader block as well as the cable end cover. Is it reasonable to just pull that one spool out of the block with it still on the tractor, or should the block be removed first? Additionally, has...

    Sticking brake lever

    A few of us over on the Bobcat page are discussing a problem with a stuck brake on the CT line of machines, which is the same as your CK line. I tore into mine and found the issue is that the cam lever that is directly actuated by the brake linkage is jammed up where is goes thru the brake...

    CT225 brake adjustment

    I just did my first big service on my CT225 (400 hour, I got it at 360) and all went well except the brake adjustment. I have both the owners manual and the full service manual. The first talks about adjusting "pedal free travel" and the service book describes "pedal clearance". Neither book...

    Broken curl function?

    I was trying out my new grapple mounted on my Bobcat CT225. The grapple was against a small tree and I pushed it forward with the tractor. There was a SNAP and I lost the curl function. I can curl the cylinders back by using the ground, but they don't hold as soon as I lift the arms. I took...

    B8200 cylinder disassembly

    I have a repair kit for the bucket cylinder on my Kubota B8200 and I'm ready to try my hand at a rebuild. However it's my first try at this and I've been looking at posts here, but my cylinder looks different than what I've seen. I don't see anything to grab to remove the end. There's no holes...

    3ph speed on old B8200

    So I understand that a lot of the Kubotas out there adjust the 3ph lowering speed with a knob under the seat. My manual says the same thing. However, no all of them have it. My early model B8200 is one of the few that do not have the knob. So my question is this: Is there a way to control...

    cylinder repair kits

    I've got some leaky cylinders on a BF300 FEL mounted on a B8200. I figured not a big deal to throw in a repair kit til I went to buy one on line. As I had seen referenced in some other posts the kits sell for as little as $14 (on the B219). The kits for the boom and bucket cyls on the BF300...

    3ph dropping repair

    This has been posted before by charlz back in '06, but this was my first hydraulic repair on a new-to-me machine I picked up in December (my first), and I'm feeling a bit proud. :cool: The tractor is an early model B8200. The 3ph would drop slowly but visibly with weight on it which was...

    Looking for a side link. Are they rare?

    So my old B8200 needs a new adjustable side link. Sounds like an easy thing, but no one has one. I've even called the local Kubota shop and they're having a **** of a time putting something together. Of course they could order up the OEM Kubota parts, but it comes in the individual pieces...

    Quick hydraulic lesson

    I'm a newbie to hydraulics and I've been finding a lot of good info here, but I need a basic question answered. What is the difference/meaning of "Open Center" and "Closed Center" in reference to hydraulic systems on tractors. I have a Kubota B8200. Which one do I have? Thanks

    Oil & Fuel  Trans/hyd oil in B8200

    I know somebody will get a chuckle out of this, but here goes... Where the heck do I add trans/hyd oil in my B8200? It's a new machine for me and I was waiting till my newly purchased Op Manual got here, but it's not helping. The book says there is a port on the left side of the gear shift...

    Sidewinder SX50

    I bought an old Kubota B8200 last week and the guy threw in a very poor looking brush cutter with the deal. It's a Sidewinder SX50 by FMC. I took it cuz, well who knows... Some times you can find something useful. It looked like the only real issue was the output shaft from the gear box...

    Tire size

    I am the new owner of a very used Kubota B8200 that needs at least one rear tire. That has led to some questions. TractorData.com says the OE Ag tires were 8.3-24. It currently has 12.4-16. The OE turf tires were on a 16 rim. Did they just put Ag rubber on the turf rims? It is a 4WD and...
