Ok, so I got the tractor back together without incident. It all went pretty smoothly. Tried it out on the icy driveway and... stuck! Front wheels spinning and neither rear wheel doing anything. Engaged clutch and applied the diff lock and at least the rhs wheel turned but the lhs just sat there...

So I have the tractor almost all back together. Happy day! I got a machine shop to drill and press out the axle from the brake hub and managed to save the hub, thankfully! So just need get the wheel back on and the brake linkage and such and replace the fluid and hopefully it will be good as new...

Thanks for the info Mike and Renzie! I'm waiting on a new halfshaft and seals and related bits to arrive so I can start reassembling. I'm wondering if the original insult may have occurred before I got the tractor, and it finally twisted clear off after my brakes locked up on that side before...

Oh great Mike! Thanks a lot. So just loctite it when reassembling then? Cheers, Adam

Thanks for your help guys. Got it apart yesterday and it is a broken half shaft I guess you'd call it. The shaft that comes out of the diff and drives the reduction gear. It was sheared off about 5 inches from the end that goes in the diff. So I'm getting a new shaft ordered. Is there anything...

I'm glad you mentioned that cover on the bottom. It was a lot easier to take that off and look at the diff than it would have been to take the 3 pt cover off. After doing that though, I can see nothing wrong with the diff or the rivets. I did find a circlip and a washer sitting loose on the...

Ok great! Is it a big job to access the crown ring through the 3 pt hitch cover plate? Does the cab have to be removed from the tractor, or is there some access hatch in the floor by chance? Would it be almost as much work as removing the final drives to get at it that way? I need to do some...

Ok, that's pretty good news if that's what the problem is. It sounds likely. Do you think they sheared in those models because they only used rivets in those models or did Zetor use rivets in other models as well? And could this damage have occurred from applying the diff lock while the wheels...

With an open rear diff, at least 1 rear wheel would be turning, no? In this case I was stuck in snow covered mud with both front wheels spinning and neither rear wheel turning. And the diff lock does nothing, though I suspected that it was faulty for the last little while.

Hi there, This is my first post on here. I've had my 6340 for a little over a year. This winter it's been an absolute dog on the ice and coming up the hill on our driveway. No traction at all. The front wheels will be spinning and the left rear wheel will be digging a hole. I thought maybe the...
