  1. Cab to suit 8045 Australia

    Cab to suit 8045 Australia

    The earlier tractors had a Gason cab, built in Ararat but the later tractors 8145 had different cabs. I thought Czech built. They have Zetor written in large letters along the top. The Gason cab is a proper safety cab tested to Aust specifications. I doubt if they supply parts. I think there are...

    Have you got the heavy cast centres?
  3. 8011 rear tyres

    8011 rear tyres

    My 12045 has 23.1/18 x 34's. Used to be the standard tyre for big tractors in Australia. Made by Olympic. Now Olympic is closed. The tyre moulds were sold to Goodyear India. That's the tyres I bought, over $2000 and hard to get. The Aust. pamphlet says the 8011 had 18.4/15 x 34. I don't know if...

    Looks like a line up at a field days in the 1970's. You've done a great job with them. The roll frames are different to the ones in Australia. Were they a standard fitting in Ireland?

    Replacement Injection pump for a 6718

    What country? New pumps are available in Australia and people have them reconditioned as well. Neither is cheap.

    zetor toolkit for the older tractors ???

    A great toolkit. Got one with the 6745. As well as jack, spanners, tyre irons, air hose, screw drivers and grease gun there were specialist little tools for servicing the injectors and a plastic box with spare globes. Still got quite a lot of mine.

    If it's the air pressure gauge it's for towing trailers with air brakes. I think they're only connected if it's got an air tank.

    You know I don't know. Perhaps alternator warning light. The dash on mine is different to the one in my handbook. The handbrake had a light. They always go off and it's never arisen. My tractor is 1980, yours is a later model. The date is on the makers plates, one for the factory and the other...

    Well done. For lights you rotate the key. There are three positions. When the tractor is parked always pull the key up into a power off position. Also check the front hubs have oil. Checked from the outside of the rim. Large drain plug, small check plug.

    Mine has a power socket but I don't know if it's aftermarket. The 4WD knob is only small.

    My fuel distributor is Shell so I just use what they've got listed. You don't need any fancy oils, they just specify 80 for the transmission and 20W30 for the engine. The centrifugal oil filter is brilliant. If you drive it home make sure it's in 2WD. The 12045 has a funny little knob almost...

    Just on the Gason safety cab. They were made in Ararat. To test them for certification, they had a concrete block on a chain. Every cab had to be tested on the tractor it was built for. First test, they just dropped the block onto the roof from a certain height. Second test, they pulled the...

    Torque amplifier works well. You can shift under load. Before I bought mine I did a bit of research on the net and it is considered solid, well designed and superior to a lot of other makes like the MF multipower. The other thing is the economy. The manual says 5 to 6 litres per hour in general...

    That includes the Australian Gason aircon cab. My 12045 has heavy cast wheel centres. As well as front weights. The Australian tractors had different tyre sizes to suit local conditions.

    Go for it, you won't be sorry. Great pulling power and economical too. If you buy it I'll copy the speeds off the windscreen label on my 12045 for you. What rear tyre size does it have?

    Thanks, that would save a lot. The only thing the 6745 has an ammeter not a warning light, so I'll have to fit a light.

    The wire to the generator from the voltage regulator that carries the power from the battery has burned out. Fortunately nothing caught fire. The generator has not been working for a while and I have been charging the battery. The heat seems to have been greater near the generator. It's easy to...

    thinking of buying 16045 unsure of condition

    Probably wise. A better one will come up. Like the 16045 at the Murray Mallee clearing sale that only brought $1500 a couple of years ago. There is an immaculate 16045 a few k's away. There was an absolutely trashed looking 10045 with a front end loader went for $5000 at a clearing sale. I...

    thinking of buying 16045 unsure of condition

    Pay wrecking money only. Remember well maintained examples like the one on Gumtree in Victoria can be bought for around $13000 and good working examples bring around $5000 or less at clearing sales. I bought my 12045 for $5500 with bad tyres and no brakes but it is a good original tractor. Back...

    replacement taco?

    My guess is Zetor Direct could supply new but at what price I don't know. You could try Country Tractor Service at Walwa. There are also wreckers. Stoneyford near Warrnambool, Neils and one in S.A. I think Neils might have a branch in Queensland. I will be looking for a front end loader for the...

    We can only hope. I suppose there's a lot of questions like exchange rates.

    Yes, that one on Gumtree looked a bit rough and it didn't have a cab. It's the clearing sales where you'll find a bargain.

    Change the oil in the injection pump. Take out the air filter element to make sure there aren't wasps nests etc in it. Your batteries have to have a reading of over 12v. I've found if one is under it won't work the unit that gives the 24v for starting. You only get a clunk from it. They have a...

    12045 starter fault

    Fortunately it only seems to be battery trouble and a false reading from my battery charger. I did inspect the circuit and that's quite an impressive device that gives the 24V start. The ignition/light switch seems worn so time for another.

    12045 starter fault

    When I was buying my 12045 it wouldn't start. The owner brought an auto electrician out. He took the starter off and it checked out ok. He replaced the unit under the floor that gives the 24 volt for the start. The tractor has battery cut outs fitted and if you leave them on the batteries drain...
