Just bought a B9200!

[MMH]

Jointed Team Orange! Just bought a B9200. It is a geared (non-HST) 4X4 tractor w/ only 530 hours. Looks like was stored outside as the paint is faded & there are numerous spots w/ surface rust. AG tires have decent tread, but beginning to crack between the treads. Tractor came w/ the BF350 loader, a woods RM59 rear finish mower & a 5' grader blade. The clutch & starter were replaced two years ago. I got the tractor for $4100.

The tractor fired right up in 14 degree weather & did not smoke. The hydraulic pump did wine until the tractor warmed up.

This is my first real tractor. Can someone give me a quick tutorial on how to operate & maintain this tractor? I'm mechanically inclined, but have not owed a tractor like this before. I was surprized that it did not have a tach. Also, quick question on the foot throttle. Does it have the full throttle range independent of where the hand throttle is set?

Is there a place that I can download manuals for this tractor?

Thanks!

That machine should have a tach. It wouldn't surprise me if the cable was broken and not reading, which would also mean the hourmeter is not accurate.

Others will respond with where to download manuals. I have all of the paper manuals for that era of machine for personal use. I also happen to know those machines fairly well if you have any specific questions.

Sounds like you got a heck of a deal on it ! :thumbsup:

Sounds like a good deal to me. As far as the hydraulic pump whin I would suggest you let it warm up before using the hydraulics too much. Wouldn't want to blow the pump!

How about a picture or two..LOL

Congratulations on your find. Theres nothing like the feeling of bringing home a new tractor.
Was this a Craigslist find?
How about a few pics?
You see, good things come to those who wait. Thats less than half the price of that B2150, plus resale should be a breeze.:thumbsup:

When you get the time, I would replace all the fluids and filters, and the coolant, too. I did that with my B8200, and it was a good way to poke around the machine and just look at everything. I use synthetic 5W-40 oil, and good hydrualic fluid. I even replaced the oil in the front axles, etc. I would be very surprised if it hadn't been built with a tach/hour meter! Curious. I added an inexpensive set of guages, too- oil pressure, coolant temp. and voltmeter... not hard to install, and a good way to monitor the engine. In fact, you can see the tach at the upper left in my photo.

Cool tractor! I had a B8200, the 3 cylinder 19hp version. Great tractors!

Get a manual. The ownre/user manual is only about $16, and will tell everything you need to know about the tractor, check/changing fluids ect.

Wow - your tractor looks nice. I will be embarased to post pictures of mine. Maybe I'll get it cleaned up next summer! The tractor had a new cltch put in it two years ago & the transmission & hydraulic fluid was replaced then. You are right on about replacing all the other fluids though. Also, right on about adding instruments!

It was a craigslist find. I've been looking for several months. Called on this one the same night it was posted. Was there next day & owner said there were over 20 calls on it. Heck, while I was there there were two people calling on it. I guess I was not the only one that thought that a good deal.

Sounds like money in the bank. What are you going to do with that tractor? Any projcts?
Now we did pictures.
I looked up the ad for that B9200 on Craigzoom , its been deleted. You must be in the East Ohio area.
