  1. 7245 Starter Motor Question

    7245 Starter Motor Question

    So I found out why the copper is there from a friend of mine who restores old cars. I'm no electrical engineer so may not be explaining this right, and I still don't get why this application needs it.... Apparently when you have two dissimilar metals forming a contact it effectively creates a...
  2. 7245 Starter Motor Question

    7245 Starter Motor Question

    I may end up having to source via a dealer or have something made - just trying to avoid a delay if it's simple. I guess worst case scenario is I just buy a steel bolt and try it!
  3. 7245 Starter Motor Question

    7245 Starter Motor Question

    I had some problems this past weekend with a lot of sparks from my starter motor. Turns out that the connectors for the battery and starter cable were rusted through and were shorting out. Unfortunately the nuts and bolt were also rusted through and I managed to shear it trying to remove. The...
  4. Oil in front axel 7745

    Oil in front axel 7745

    I'm doing this from memory as I am not close to the tractor today, but as I recall there are two bolts in the diff housing (other than the ones holding everything together)- one large one near the top and a smaller one about half way up (but close to the edge of the housing). Remove both and...
  5. what loaders fit a 7245?

    what loaders fit a 7245?

    Not sure where you are, but in North America Quicke or Allied (Buhler) are popular. I have an Allied 594 on my 7245 - common and relatively cheap. As zetormatic suggests though, the mounting brackets may be tough to get - I know for my Allied it is a non standard kit - I ended up with that...
  6. A

    zetor/zebra help me plse

    American Jawa was the US importer of Zetor tractors. The Zebra was licensed as a Zetor but I believe it was actually manufactured by HMT. It certainly isn't a Zetor factory model. Sorry, can't comment on how good they are as I have no first hand experience.
  7. hydraulic pressure 5245

    hydraulic pressure 5245

    The lever is right between your legs when you are sitting in the seat. It is actually a tube with the spare (presumably 1000 rpm) PTO shaft slid over it and then a grey heavy duty plastic cap over that. The plastic cap has a piece sticking out of it which should be pointing left when the...
  8. Alternator or regulator 7745

    Alternator or regulator 7745

    I'm a great believer in doing the simple stuff first - are you sure it is the alternator or regulator and not just that the battery isn't holding a charge? Whenever I have had charging problems with car batteries in the past it has always been that the battery can no longer maintain the charge...
  9. Hydraulic Safety Valve

    Hydraulic Safety Valve

    Well I have an update and am now even more confused. I haven't had a chance to investigate further as the tractor is outside and I haven't got to it until it has been dark the last few days, but last night I had to clear more snow, I lifted the 3pt and it just stayed exactly where it should -...
  10. Hydraulic Safety Valve

    Hydraulic Safety Valve

    I don't think so Zetormatic. There are 3 positions - moving from front to back Draft, Mixture and Position. Draft is the ploughing setting that essentially moves the 3pt in relation to the tractor to try and keep the plough level. Position setting allows the height to be adjusted using the...
  11. Hydraulic Safety Valve

    Hydraulic Safety Valve

    Does anyone know how the hydraulic safety valve works? I am having a problem with my 3pt hitch - it will lift fine, but will not remain in the raised position - it immediately drops until the mounted implement (skidding winch) is on the ground. The selector is in the P position, and everything...
  12. Starting 7745

    Starting 7745

    I have to prime my 7245 pretty much every time I start it, even if it has only been sitting for a day or so, but not that much. Usually 1 or 2 times, no more than 4 if it has been sitting for a week - any more than that and I just get a lot of smoke. Is the primer working properly - can you...
  13. Zetors in Canada

    Zetors in Canada

    Hi all, Does anyone know what the future is for Zetor in Canada. There are plenty of dealers around - at least here in Ontario, and the tractors are well known and trusted. I was therefore surprised that when I saw the list of exhibitors for the upcoming Canadian International Farm Equipment...
  14. COLD START BUTTON?

    COLD START BUTTON?

    gw, I had a similar problem finding the button on my 7245 - simple answer is there isn't one - it's automatic. Now I just plug in the heater, prime it just before I turn it over and it fires up like a charm. The only thing I did find was that the engine seemed to run at higher revs for an...

    Dourobob, Have you ever used Central East? I was under the impression that they only sold to delaers, not to consumers - has this now changed? Andy
  16. rear lift on 5011 ,goes up but comes down to 20cm off the ground

    rear lift on 5011 ,goes up but comes down to 20cm off the ground

    Smelly, not sure about the first part of your problem, but the second part of your post is how it should work. When the PTO selector is in neutral you can still lift or lower the rear end, but you won't have hydraulic power to the remotes. You said that you blow snow, so if your chute was...
  17. WHAT MODEL SHOULD I BUY?

    WHAT MODEL SHOULD I BUY?

    Made in Brno, I'm not in UK (anymore), but getting a loader shouldn't be a problem - the hard part will be the mounting kit as Zetor is non-standard mounts (at least for North America - European style may be better). I can't believe that it is that hard to find a loader through an online site /...

  19. Electrical problems at my Zetor 7245

    question Electrical problems at my Zetor 7245

    Hi all, I started trying to figure out the electrical challenges on my Zetor 7245 on the weekend - I knew it wouldn't be fun on account of when I got the tractor there was a birds nest behind the dash :eek: I figured out several things but would welcome some advice on some others: 1) Hour...

    Cold weather starting

    Oh yes, the virtual cab - I'll remind myself of that every time I shovel snow off the seat this winter!! Dominic, I'm in Ontario too - Perkinsfield on Georgian Bay (right in the lake effect snow shadow!!) north of Barrie, west of Midland / Penetanguishene.
  21. Cold weather starting

    Cold weather starting

    Thanks guys! I do have a block heater and it appears to work OK, I hadn't used it yet because I really didn't think it would be cold enough yet. Unfortunately the tractor is outside right now - and no cab :-/ I love this machine - it's my first Zetor, but won't be my last - it's rare these...
  22. Cold weather starting

    Cold weather starting

    Hi all, Now that the weather is starting to cool off here in Canada my 7245 is getting a little reluctant to start. At this rate I hate to think what it will be like come January!! I looked at the manual and found the primer, the manual suggested 3-5 pumps, but that just managed to flood the...
  23. Tires 101

    Tires 101

    Just an update, I got my new tires - 8 ply Matis (also Czech). Did some work with the loader this weekend as well as spending some time in the bush hauling trees out. Obviously far too early to tell about durability, but they seem like good sturdy boots. Total cost with tubes and installed on...
  24. Front Axle oil rating

    Front Axle oil rating

    Hi guys, My 7245 is losing oil from the right hand side of the font axle. I see that there is a place on the top of the axle to add oil, but until my manuals turn up I don't know what to put in there, can someone help?? Also, is anyone familiar with this prolem - should I try and strip it...
  25. manuals

    manuals

    There are a lot of places selling them, though I suspect that most are photocopied versions. I am currently looking for a set for myself (for a 7245) and if you Google it you will get a lot of returns. Prices vary considerably, but the cheapest places for a set of 2 (or 3 if you also want...
  26. Tires 101

    Tires 101

    Thanks everyone for the helpful replies. Tony, a neighbour of mine does a lot of loader work, albeit with a MF rather than a Zetor. He swears by Firestone tires on the front. He has never had any problems with them and gives the loader a decent work out - a lot of sand and gravel as well as...

    Tires 101

    Sorry if these are dumb questions guys, but..... My 1981 7245 is badly in need of a new set of tires - the originals are still on the tractor. I am trying to find appropriate tires, but need help in a couple of areas. 1) Does anyone know if the original (Barum) tires are tubed or tubeless -...
  28. Looking for Canadian ZETOR Dealer so I can order parts

    Looking for Canadian ZETOR Dealer so I can order parts

    A little way away from Montreal, but I can heartily recommend Dave Beard at Beard's Farm Supply in Orillia - around 1 1/2 hours north of Toronto. Dave has sold around 1,500 Zetors over (I think) 20 years or so and continues to be a dealer. I have just bought a 7245 from him and he is more than...

    Allied (Buhler) Loader mounting kit for 7245

    Hi all, So, after my aborted attempt to buy a 7745 at auction I was more than impressed by what I had learned about Zetor and decided to see what else was out there. I have found a 7245 with 2200 hours for a fairly remarkable price. I've given it a thorough going over and the only thing that...
  30. Is 7745 right for me?

    Is 7745 right for me?

    Just an update for you guys on the result of the auction on Friday. Bottom line is it sold for a fairly decent price - C$9,500, but I didn't buy it. There were only 2 bidders and when I dropped out the bidding just stopped. When I finally got a chance to inspect the tractor a little more it...
