  1. Brake fluid leak

    Brake fluid leak

    Thanks both. The tractor doesn't have air brakes but I understand that it provides air braking for a trailer (though I might easily be wrong about that). I thought the leak was coming from some what appears to be some sort of pressure setting component. It's aluminium with an adjusting bolt at...
  2. Brake fluid leak

    Brake fluid leak

    My 7341 has sprung a fluid leak from one of the components above the compressed air tank. I'm assuming it's something to do with the air brake system and that what's leaking is brake fluid, because the pipework connects the air tank to the leaking component. From reading around I'm guessing that...
  3. Wiper blades for 7341

    Wiper blades for 7341

    Are the wiper blades on a 7341 compatible with any car blades for easily obtainable (and cheap!) replacements? Thanks.
  4. Using the PTO

    Using the PTO

    Thanks for that, very useful. I hadn't thought of using the 1000RPM setting at half engine speed, sounds like it might be a bit easier on the engine (and the ears!). Perhaps I'll give it a try without the spreader and see if it keeps moving nicely like that. It's a bit hilly here though, so...
  5. Using the PTO

    Using the PTO

    I've never needed to use a PTO before, but now I want to use a ferti spreader. I gather that I have to select the appropriate PTO speed (540RPM) using the lever, and then run the engine at the corresponding revs as marked on the tacho. All well and good, but the speed on the tacho is about...
  6. Squidgy brakes

    Squidgy brakes

    Thanks Mike, I'll take a look at that when I next get a chance. Regarding the mismatch of the bleed nipples on the trailer air valve, the component I found (right side, between the tank and the rear axle) is certainly something to do with the braking system but I could easily have mis-identified...
  7. Squidgy brakes

    Squidgy brakes

    Hi Mike. Uh... No, I'm afraid I didn't realise they were adjustable {:-( I assumed that they were effectively self-adjusting like car brakes. Guess I'll have to delve into the manuals some more. SEVEN??? No, I only counted five! I tried to follow the manual but didn't seem very clear to me. I...
  8. Squidgy brakes

    Squidgy brakes

    <sigh> One day I'll have a problem that turns out to be simple, quick and cheap to resolve :( Thanks for the info though. Mine's a 2000-registered 7341 Super - 4WD, braked front wheels (I guess they all go together but so many things seem to be optional that I'm not sure). Is there a simple...
  9. Squidgy brakes

    Squidgy brakes

    I think I posted about brake bleeding before but I can't find the thread now, so apologies if this causes anyone a spot of deja vu... The brakes on my 7341 have been binding. Having lubed, sprayed and bashed the various parts, it's now rolling nicely again instead of stopping dead when I dip...
  10. Coolant loss

    Coolant loss

    Yes, I've got a Howard front-end loader. I suppose that's got to come off - does that need a stand of some sort? The tractor came with the FEL attached, and I've never removed it. I've got a workshop manual, I've been looking for it since you mentioned that it's a problem but I can't lay my...
  11. Coolant loss

    Coolant loss

    Oh Gawd! I know you said it's cheap & easy but I've never tackled anything like a head gasket before so it sounds scary to me. Is there anything I can do to confirm that's what it is without taking the head off? What exactly is involved in replacing it - does much have to be removed to get...
  12. Coolant loss

    Coolant loss

    Thanks, it's comforting to hear that it's not a problem. I'm at a loss to understand it though - I didn't think coolant was supposed to go anywhere near the combustion process.
  13. Coolant loss

    Coolant loss

    I drained and flushed the coolant from my 7341 a few weeks back and re-filled with fresh antifreeze mix. The first couple of times I used it after that, I checked the level and found I had to top it up a bit and didn't worry because I assumed that was due to airlocks clearing. I've had to do it...
  14. Not grabbing

    Not grabbing

    Turned out to be a bad earth. All the meter checks seemed to indicate that everything was fine, but the negative supply to the joystick (from a bolt in the console) was failing on load (i.e. when the button was pressed). A pig of a fault to trace, but at least I know a bit more about how it all...
  15. Not grabbing

    Not grabbing

    Dunno - I haven't noticed anything, but I'm a newbie so I might not notice until something falls off. Which bit is the torque tube, and would a crack be obvious to an untrained eye?
  16. Not grabbing

    Not grabbing

    Checked today. The grab [b]does[/] open and close if I hot-wire a 12V supply to the solenoid while an assistant operates the joystick. I guess that puts both the solenoid and the valve in the clear and points the finger at either the switch/relay circuitry or the wiring somewhere along the line...

    Not grabbing

    OK, I got my wife to try operating the open/close button while I was checking the voltage. It was about 3V, but it kept dropping - it might actually have been switching polarity because the needle on the meter seemed to be showing less than zero. She was still holding the button pressed while...

    Not grabbing

    Thanks, I'll check it out and report back. I took the reading from the connector that plugs onto the solenoid (thanks for confirming that's what it is, by the way). It's the one that can be seen in the first picture.
  19. Not grabbing

    Not grabbing

    My 7341 has a front-end loader (Howard FX-2011) with a grab, operated by a joystick in the cab. When the jostick is moved left & right the grab tips up & down. If a button on the joystick is held at the same time, the grab opens and closes instead of tipping. But it's stopped opening and...
  20. Brakes on 7341

    Brakes on 7341

    Well, I tried, but all I could find to bleed was a single nipple on a part under the RHS of the cab and the two front hubs. That has made a difference, with the right brakes working to some degree. The left is dead though, with a bit of resistance only if pumped. Any recognition tips for the...
  21. Brakes on 7341

    Brakes on 7341

    Curiouser and curiouser... I had assumed the air tank was empty because the drain valve isn't venting air, but throwing the 4wd switch a number of times evidently caused a valve in the regulator to operate and start delivering air to the tyre hose. Presumably this happened because engaging 4wd...

    Thanks Mike.
  24. Brakes on 7341

    Brakes on 7341

    I acquired a Zetor 7341 recently. It didn't have any use over the winter and when I next drove it, the brakes failed - they felt spongy at first and after a few presses on the pedal they gave up completely. I noticed that some fluid had leaked from one of the front wheel hubs onto the wheel - I...
