Zetor 7745
A bit of a project tractor but I got it up and running after it was abandoned for 20 years. Only thing I can't figure just quite yet is why the 3 point wont lift



Forgot to add this photo but that's how it looked the day I got it.

I honestly don't know where it was when it was abandoned, but I did find a old mouse nest inside the right side brakes
As well as water in the gear oil and quite a bit of sun damage on the paint

Did you see my tractor I bought before Christmas, was idle in a shed for 9 years? I'm in Ireland so our atmosphere is damp for 75% of the year, and everything rusts and green mould starts growing.

Here in Washington state its about the same its never not wet and when its not its blazing hot, mine has some green moss growing on on the top of the fenders and around and on the seat. I'm leaning towards outside just for the condition it was in when I bought it at auction. Anything metal out here doesn't rot as fast as you'd think the most you'll get is sun spotting and surface rust unless you have some salt from winter or you're by the coast.

No I haven't seen it I set up my account a bit ago to check out the wiring diagram for the 7745 but never really checked anything else out. What'd you get?

I bought a 40k 1990 8111. The mudguards at the back are gone thin from rain and dampness. It was in a shed but must been getting weather on the back.

No paint is very faded and the back is very seized. I can't adjust the arms or get the pick up hitch to open. The engine is fine runs nice, I just had to change every oil in it. And the diesel filters were half full of water. The power steering and gearbox was all running with a percentage of water
 
Getting water out of the gearbox and power steering sounds like it's gonna be a pain. I'm pretty new when it comes to equipment mechanics. Hopefully it turns out to be a good workhorse for you

I just left the bungs and filter housings off the gearbox, and ran some kerosene through them before re-filling
