Thanks for your reply. Pretty sure the rings are ok as the bore was perfect,and no debris on top of the piston. Im no expert, far from it, how do I check for piston damage?

Evening all, Got a bit of a problem with my 5711 pressuring number 2 cylinder. It all started a few months back as I saw dots of oil landing on the bonnet while using a sawbench,and it was smoking more than normal too. I took the rocker covers off all cylinders, and while pulling the engine over...

Thanks for the suggestion, but it wasnt that in the end- the brake shoes had seized in the pins, and one of the shoes actually sheared into two pieces, riding ontop of the other- never seen that before! So its all back together now, so fingers crossed it'll work ok. ;)

Hi boys, The left hand brake on my 5711 has always been worse than the right, and after leaving it out for a few nights then using it the next day the brakes were snatching big time. After trying to back up to free off the left brake it sort of worked, but after driving it for a few miles the...

Finding more and more that I could do with one of these. So.....: Are they difficult to source? will other hitches from other models fit? and how much are they generally? Cheers all!

Hope some of you guys can help please. I have an old Someca M10 baler,which bales very loose bales,and every 4th-5th has a broken string on it. I`ve tried closing up the bale chamber screws,but it makes little difference to the density of bales. I cant find any spec for it on the net,so could...

Hi again, Did all you said,put a new O ring on the diff valve(is there meant to be just one on it? looks like a smaller one could be fitted too?) and on the end cap (did it all with the block attached to the top cover still,which was foolish probably as I only got out the valve,spring and...

Thats not a bad idea Renze!? I`ll give it a go,thanks!

I know its not Zetor,but got to move a 4 ton Articulated Winget dumper soon,but the engines dead...will we be able to steer it by overpowering the hydraulics by hand or not? as we`re hoping to tow it about 6 miles like this!? Cheers.

Thanks Tomz, Thats what I`ll do for sure,but I was wondering if the plate that kept it in can be bought off the shelf too? I`ll make one if need be. All the best.

Managed to lose one of the rear linkage arm balls and its retainer plate/bolts, (tractor end of the lift arm). What size ball would I need? and is the retaining plate easy to get hold of,of should I make one? Sorry if its a gaumless question,but thought I`d ask those that know best! Cheers.

Thats great-many thanks for that Dave! I thought it had somthing to do with the lift arms,but now I know exactly what. Thanks again.

Hi, Below the right hand side of the seat on my 5711,theres a lever with 3 settings-S,M and P, I think. Could anyone tell me what the settings mean please? And how/when they should be used? Many thanks.

Great! - at least I know what to do now then-thanks again Mike.

Meant to say-would the proceedure be the same for a 5711?
