As I recall, the oil filter was part of the pan plug. The plug looks like a cylinder with a screen in the middle and magnet on the end. I'd hose it down with carb cleaner and dry it. Oil was 10w-30 kubota brand from the local dealer.

both my old b6000e and my 8200 require the glow plugs to get them to fire up even after hard use on a summer day. engine on the 8200 has great compression but for whatever reason I need to hit the pulgs even if it's just for a few seconds.

I have a B8200 with the 300 loader on it. Great tractor, built solid as a rock. A dealer in a nearby town has one for sale that is a low hour hydro, 4wd with the 300 loader and he wants $8000 for it in his ad this weekend. At that price I imagine it'll see the back of someone's trailer headed for a new home this weekend.
Speaking of B8200s, guess I'd better get back to my bush hogging before the rain starts again.

Hello,
I have a B8200 4WD HST and drag a 4' rotary cutter for clearing / cutting often and I'm very happy with it. I've never pulled a blade behind it but it pulls my 5 foot cultivator though heavy, rocky soil easily. My manual gives 250kg as the max weight for the 3ph.
Best of luck !

Hi all, just wanted to say THANKS and let you all know how it turned out. Basically, I tore everything back down and found among other things a blown head gasket. Replaced it and learned apparently at one time was a type of replacement gasket ( not kubota ) that were known to blow out on these particular engines. Of course, I blew my own up, not the fault of the gasket in this case. I just found it interesting. Art, I guess you already know about that from one of your questions to me. So, got a kubota head gasket, had the pump and injectors checked / set by a diesel shop recommended by a Kubota dealer in a nearby town( as the mechanic said " first thing I'm going to do is send them up there anyhow ), reset ALL my timing points, valve lash setting, fresh diesel, filters and presto ! She works great.
I found that I focused on the fuel pump timing so much I somehow managed to miss my valve timing was off in my last teardown. I'm sure it was because I tore into it and made so many changes it, among other problems just got compounded. I'm guessing the valve - fuel timing being out caused the overheat and blew the head gasket.
So, thanks again for everyone who offered advice, you all pointed me in the right direction. I'd still be out there sweating and swearing over that thing otherwise... my neighbors I'm sure would thank you too... be saplings replacing my grass otherwise. It was getting ugly out there.

sorry my last message posted while I was still typing. Still getting used to the shortcuts on this laptop :)
Reason I was saying it struck close to home is, I have a photo that looks just like that of one of my tractors. While back, it was getting late and I really wanted to get a area bush hogged and figured I'd hit it real quick and get home. I knew the slope ( I thought ) and ran straight up it making good progress when I realized ( too late ) the brush hid about a three - four foot wide depression and I hit it just to the left. Not deep at all but the brush hid it well. At first glace it was not evident as I was clearing some very heavy brush. tractor fell away to the left pretty quick and I leaped off safely with only a few minor injuries( no ROPS - fossil tractor ). Lucky me ! A very terrifing sight seeing that bush hog running wide open as I leapt away ( over ) from the tractor rolling into the brush.
I made all the fundamental mistakes and I certainly knew better than to do what I was doing. Guess I had become too comfortable. Can't say enough about taking some time to walk the land first and get a feel for it. Take a machete along to cut thick brush. scary how quick the land can change on you.

Nevermind all, I got it free last night. A little tap on the back with a hammer and out she came. Just get a bit nervous forcing internal engine parts i guess. Sure I hope I got it timed right now !

Engine Power Source in N.C. is a good outfit to deal with. If a rebuilt is what you're looking for I recommend them.

I dropped the one off my b6000 a while back and cracked it. Oddly enough, my local dealer was able to order it and had it in a week. Suprised me given the age of the tractor. I've had good luck with ordering parts through the local kubota dealer for my old b6000 so I'd certainly give your
local folks a try.

Ooops. My apologies for hasty wording in my last post. TomG your description is right on the money. It is spliced into the existing pressure line with no additional pump. Steve, yes, I have seen the b6000s with the additional pump ( I believe it was belt driven but could be wrong there )but this particular setup doesn't require it. Reason I went with the loader on my b6000 is my a lot of my land is wooded and I needed something I can scoot into fairly narrow spots. Even with the rear wheels spaced all the way out ( and an old cultivator for counter-balance ) I can manuver rather easily in some tight places.

Thanks Art, I've been reading some of the other threads and archives concerning 2wd and traction so I have been taking that
into consideration. You mention "that size loader" in your reply, do you think maybe a smaller loader would be better due to improved balance / traction ? Maybe a small Nuco ( smaller bucket, lighter overall weight ) ?
