Hi Again! Now the shaft that the lever pivots on seems to have broken its weld at the base {:-(
At least I now know that the problem was on the lever pivot shaft not the actuator shaft that works the hydraulics.
It would be an easy fix, apart from how hard it is to get in there to drill out...
Hi Folks!
I've noticed that the lever that controls the lift on my 6945 has got very, very stiff. I've backed off the friction nut and that hasn't helped.
Does anyone have any ideas? Is there a grease point on this assembly that I've missed?
Thanks!
Yes indeed! I will open it up completely as soon as possible and try and asess the full extent of the damage - my local K-maatalous Zetor dealer has the outer bearings in stock - but I also thought that a phone call to Isojoen konehalli might be an idea - at least they advertise tractor...
Hmm.. unfortunately the crunching sound I heard when driving home today leads me to think I thought wrong :(
I've had to borrow a Massey Ferguson to transport the digger tomorrow {:-(
Hi Folks
Well it's kind of fixed, for the time being - I think.
I got a pair of new locknuts from the local Zetor dealer, and managed to get these on tightly. In fact despite the axle thread being damaged the new nuts went on so well that I decided to forgo the welding for the time being and...
I like that welding idea, thanks!
Getting the wheel shaft firmly in place and the bearing seated fully is going to be hard though - although maybe it would help to remove the wheel?
Thanks again

Hi Folks!
I noticed today that my tractor's left rear wheel was at an odd angle :-(
When I opened up the bearing cover on the inside of the portal I found that both lock-nuts had been pulled straight off, and the inner taper bearing was completely loose. There was no thread at all left on one...
Hmm... I've used both 10-30 multifarm and 10-40 Mobil diesel engine oil in my steering and it has always been very easy to steer, even on cold days. One finger on the wheel is enough!
When the oil level drops though it does get VERY stiff...
Hi Markku
I've topped up the oil in there three times now, since I got the tractor. It doesn't loose much there. Having said that it has been a while since I checked it, so will do so ASAP!
Thanks!
Yeah - the tractor has been in need of a rebuild since I got it (which I knew about at the time). I think I'll be lucky if I can get away with rings and a hone though. I have been thinking in terms of new pistons/liners, but I suppose I won't know until I pluck up the courage and open it up...
Is it possible, remembering the problems I have with a large amount of oil coming out through the crankcase breather, that now the engine is so worn that oil is getting past the pistons on the downstroke, and into the combustion chambers that way? Would this cause the surging effect?
Hi folks
My 6945 has developed a new trick - when it's left ticking over for long periods from time to time it will rev up by itself - just as if someone had pressed the gas pedal. This lasts just three or four seconds and is accompanied by extra smoke from the exhaust (blue, black, and white...
Then in future ensure that you make nice square movements with the lever when changing gear - no diagonal shortcuts ;)
These days I'm paranoid about ensuring that one gear has been released properly before engaging the next one - I got mine stuck in both second and reverse once - have a guess...
What's the problem with your starter?
Have you tried cleaning up the commutator and making sure the brushes are in good condition and can slide freely?
I managed to bring mine 'back from the dead' once...
Hi
I had a similar problem with mine - it turned out that it was 'borderline overheating' sometimes due to a lazy thermostat. A new thermostat cured the problem. It's an easy replacement although beware of low-flying circlips (you will see what I mean if you need to replace yours :) )
I...
