Fitted a replacement equalizer today and now have both side brakes working.

Spent a few hours working on the brakes at the weekend. Tried these methods of bleeding with no evidence of air coming out and no improvement. I also checked the clearance between the pushrods and master cylinders which was ok. I did notice however that there are no return springs for the pedals...

Thanks - I got the same advice on bleeding the brakes from an Ex Zetor mechanic yesterday so will give this a go at the weekend before taking things apart. We did take it slowly last time.

The set up on both my tractors is the same as this and no signs of any adjusters for the shoes. I noticed that the pistons are quite tight in the new cylinder and am now wondering if this is intentional and makes them self adjusting. When the brake pedal is released i can hear the shoes rubbing...

Dave P. The only Zetor brakes i have had apart are on the 5511 and 3545. There was nothing like you describe when i removed the drums and nothing is shown in the manuals i have. Would you have some photos or a diagram that shows what i need. Thanks.

Thanks for the info. I fitted a new slave cylinder and portals are back on but will consider this in future. I bled the brakes but when i press the pedals independantly they both go to the stop and shoes just make contact however if i press both pedals together the brakes are good with pedals...

Duncan's made the cabs in Aberdeen and shipped them to the dealers who then fitted them. They are still in business and sell spares for thier cabs. My 3 Zetors have these fitted and the 5511 has one of the their first saftey cab ptototypes.

Thanks - The leak is minimal so I decided to leave this seal for now as I need to get the tractor going again this week. The left brake was sticking on and thought this was due to seized pivot pins but problems seems to be a stuck piston in the slave cylinder. The cylinder looks fairly new and...

I have new seals for the shafts that go into the differential (i replaced them on the 3545 when i redid the brakes) but this leak is coming from the shaft that comes out from the bull gear. I'll try to get a photo today. Thanks

Have not got the brakes apart yet due to harvest but noticed today that some oil has leaked out of the left axle shaft on to the wheel centre disc and rim. Is this a common problem. Oil level in final drive is not above the fill plug. Is it worth changing this seal when i have the portal off. Is...

Thanks I spoke with the supplier today and he confirmed the part numbers from his parts manual and that the 5511 has a smaller drum than the other 4 cylinders but has the larger spline. Will find out for sure at the weekend.

Hi - I ordered shoes and brake bands for my 5511 and the ones supplied are the same size as my old ones removed from the 3545. Is this correct - I plan to strip and replace the brake parts at the weekend but dont want to find out then I have the wrong parts. Thanks
