  1. Stiff 3-point lift lever

    Stiff 3-point lift lever

    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!
  2. 6945 rear axle bearings

    6945 rear axle bearings

    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...
  3. 6945 revving up by itself...

    6945 revving up by itself...

    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...
  4. Front mounted rear loader?

    Front mounted rear loader?

    Is it a silly idea? I've recently managed to get hold of an old single-action rear loader (with wire-pull to release the bucket). It's a handy implement - I have used it on a job already - but mounting it on the front of the tractor would free up the lift for another implement, and make it...
  5. 6340

    6340

    Hi Folks - it's been a while! I've been starting to think about a replacement for my trusty 6945. Last week I did an excavation job for a chap who runs an engineering business specialising in racing and specialist engines, who was of the opinion that it was a miracle that my tractor started...
  6. Front wheel drive axle

    Front wheel drive axle

    Hi folks I've been looking at my front axle (front tyres need replacing as do all of the ball joints) and I notice that the whole axle assembly slides backwards and forwards about 3/8" along the pivot pipe. The manual seems to speak (it's a bit hard to understand) of adjustment shims but the...
  7. Learning 360 tracked excavator driving - any tips?

    Learning 360 tracked excavator driving - any tips?

    Hi folks I have the loan of a small tracked excavator for a couple of days - I was planning to clear out some of our clogged ditches. Any handy hints, tips, things to do and not do? How long does it normally take to get up to speed on these things? The controls are basically two joysticks...
  8. Piston rings

    Piston rings

    Hi Folks - it's been a while! Well it looks like the time has come for me to change the piston rings on my '78 6945. I was out ploughing yesterday and had to keep one door and the rear window open otherwise the cab was filling up with blue smoke from the crankcase breather :( From the manual...
  9. Noisy centrifugal oil cleaner - Zetor 6945

    question Noisy centrifugal oil cleaner - Zetor 6945

    Hi everyone Today I did something that I rarely do - operate the tractor without wearing earmuffs. That of course is a bad thing but it did enable me to hear something I'd missed before. While I was coupling up my forage harvester I noticed a grinding noise coming from the centrifugal oil...
  10. Hay field seeding

    Hay field seeding

    Hello all Has anyone had experience of using a centrifugal fertiliser spreader for broadcast seeding a hay field? Does it work?
  11. Cold Start Button Hiding!!

    Cold Start Button Hiding!!

    Hi I just went out to do some snow work, and couldn't find the cold start button on my 6945! AArrgghh! At first I thought it had dropped off somehow, but further investigation revealed that the hex head that it's mounted on had rotated so that the button was pointing in towards the engine...
  12. Fuel economy

    Fuel economy

    How many litres per hour should our 9645 use, approximately? Lets say in light use, something like transport work for example..
  13. Moving really heavy stuff on the lift...

    Moving really heavy stuff on the lift...

    Hi I recently built a bale lifter - basically like fork-lift forks but round. My silage bales are really, really heavy - they are so wet that there is about 6" of water in the bottom of each bale. I can lift them up with our 6945, but the hydraulic pump really sounds liike it's working hard...
  14. Front blade

    Front blade

    Hi Folks Yesterday I went to the local scrapyard to look for materials for building a simple bale lifter to go on the 3-point hitch. As is the way with these things, I came away with... the blade part of a grader blade. It's 2m wide and 50cm deep. It's almost exactly like the red part of...
  15. Oil escaping from crankcase breather

    Oil escaping from crankcase breather

    Hi Folks I've been meaning to ask this for ages. Mr Z is loosing quite a bit of engine oil - and it seems that most of this is being blown out of the crankcase breather. Is there anything I can do to prevent this? The screen on the inside of the front engine side-plate (item 16 on page 30...
  16. Small bale haylage?

    Small bale haylage?

    Hi Does anyone have any experience of making small bale haylage - by wrapping bales from a conventional baler? How does the process work exactly? Is the hay tedded at all before baling, or is it just wilted? Is there any ensiling agent / inoculant used? Do the wrapping machines work well...
  17. Planetary hub oil seal

    Planetary hub oil seal

    Hi. (Me again :D) I've just discovered that my right hand front hub is leaking oil - at first I thought it was the steering lower bearing exuding grease but that is actually ok. Is it a lot of work to change the oil seal? Thanks (again ;D) 003 PS I don't think my tractor is really falling...
  18. steering shock absorber

    steering shock absorber

    Hi The steering shock absorber is missing from my tractor(6945). Is it something that I should replace? If so, will an old car suspension shock absorber work, provided that the travel is enough? Thanks! 003

    What can I make from an old...

    Sickle bar mower? Hi Folks I have two old sickle bar mowers that I should try to figure out a use for! They are both the sort with the Pitman rod. One of them was left here by the farm's previous owners (I can't think why ;D), and the other one... well... I'm afraid to say that I tried to...
  20. Rear end casting - what material?

    Rear end casting - what material?

    Hi folks! Does anyone know what material the rear end (rear axle casting) is made from? Is it cast iron, cast steel, or what, exactly? My tractor is a 6945 of 1978 vintage. I ask because I have a.. crack :'( in mine, on the underside where the longitudinal supports for the trailer hitch...
  21. Has anyone made their own rear bucket?

    Has anyone made their own rear bucket?

    Hi Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions regarding a home-made rear bucket? Perhaps someone on this forum has made one at some point? Very nice ones are available commercially here like this one: http://www.laaksonmetalli.fi/photos/takakauha_p.jpg But at present I have more time and...

    Anyone else blow snow?

    Hi again Does anyone else use their Zetor for snow blowing? How often do you grease the blower axle bearings? Thanks 003
  23. Zetor 3-point hitch - what means "Weight Transfer"? Zetor ploughing

    question Zetor 3-point hitch - what means "Weight Transfer"? Zetor ploughing

    Hi Again I've been meaning to ask this one for ages but kept forgetting. Old age setting in I suppose... Anyway, I'm a bit puzzled by the setting on the 3pt lift control marked 'weight transfer' (I assume that's the correct translation anyway). With the hydraulics in 'position', if the lever...
  24. Normal noise? (Zetor 6945)

    question Normal noise? (Zetor 6945)

    Hello again everyone Yesterday I made a loooong road trip with our 6945 to collect some round bales. By long, I mean two hours and fifty minutes in each direction! On the trip I noticed a couple of things that gave me cause for mild concern... firstly I noticed that once the tractor had been...
  25. Some electrical problems with my Zetor

    question Some electrical problems with my Zetor

    Hello again :) This time I have some electrical problems! When the right hand turn signal is on, the white side marker light flashes dim. Also, both headlamps only glow dimly. In addition to these problems the rear lights do odd things too! I suspect that there is a bad earth connection...
  26. Zetor 6945 Handbrake question

    question Zetor 6945 Handbrake question

    Hello again! I've decided that it would be nice to try to get the handbrake working on my 6945. When I pull up on the lever, the two brake pedals go down, so I know the linkage is working. The trouble is that the lever doesn't lock up, and I can't feel any ratchet. Is this a common...
  27. Zetor 6945 double clutch question

    question Zetor 6945 double clutch question

    Hi I have a quick question about the clutch arrangement on my new (to me!) 6945. Is the foot clutch pedal supposed to be single action, or is it supposed to cut drive to the PTO as well? I can cut the drive to the PTO using the lever to the left of the handbrake, but the foot pedal appears...
  28. Zetor model numbers - Zetor 6945

    question Zetor model numbers - Zetor 6945

    Hello I'm the happy new owner of a 1979 Zetor 6945 :) I'd be very interested to know if there's a way to decode the Zetor model numbers. Does the number reveal the size, engine, transmission details of the tractor? Warm regards from the frozen Notrh
