I am the proud owner of a Zetor 4320 with a 102 loader.
It was my grandpa's tractor and after his passing it was left to my Uncle.
He used it occasionally, but not much. About 8 years ago the tractor quit running and would not start back. He left it where it died and that is where it has been since. Today I started cutting back the brush and brambles to uncover the Zetor. I have no idea what's it's going to need, but it looks like I've got a winter project.

Sound interesting and a Zetor 4320 is a good tractor - easy to repair.
 
That looks in amazing condition, seeing it's stuck in a hedge. I found one in this country pulled out of a hedge after some time and it looks like this.

This is Ireland. It's not mine, but for sale in Ireland at the moment. I would never leave any of my tractors outside even 1 day or night and not be in a shed.

Oh, I see. I hope they are not asking too much for that one. I wish my uncle would have moved this one under the shed, instead of just leaving it where it died. The shed is only 25 feet from where the tractor is setting. That would have save me a couple cans of PB Blaster (rust penetrate.)
 
That tractor will make a 1000 euro in this country, be a little more than a thousand American dollars. Eventhough it's probably only worth around 500. But scrap value is high at the moment so for it's weight alone be worth that.
 
Update on the 4320, I have sprayed everything down withe rust penetrant and got the pto handle button and parking break button to now move. The hand throttle has loosened up and seems to be working. There is old diesel fuel in the tank that I need to get out and I will replace it with fresh fuel when I try to start it. The key was lost, so I had to order one, it should be here next week. Then hopefully I can put a battery in and see what it will do. Of course, I will be getting all new fluids and filters once I see if it will start. Just the beginning, but excited to see if it will run.
 
I am a little concerned about the breaks, if they are going to be stuck or not. 🤞 Also, wondering what kind of shape the master cylinder for the clutch and breaks are in. I have seen a couple videos, and they don't seem to bad to change out, but this if one of the bigger projects I have taken on.
Also, would it be wise to go ahead and replace the rubber fuel lines before trying to start it? I heard they can be an issue by cracking and letting air in.
Thank you all for the words of encouragement and advice. 👍

Yes, its better.
 
I started a Zetor 8045 for the first time in 3 years, it was parked after the planetary gears smashed themselves into oblivion and front left can't turn. The tractor started easy enough with a good battery and changed the diesel and bled it up. The brakes don't work but as it can't move, they aren't going to be needed for a bit.
