Report on progress. I was able to bleed my brakes successfully today with the help of my more mechanically inclined neighbour. The hardest part of the job was getting the rubber caps off the bleed screws. The second hardest part was getting a socket on the bleed screw under the hydro lift...

Thanks ixer0 I went to look and there was a lot of snow and mud packed in at the top of the rear axles. Does anyone have a picture or a sketch from a manual that will show exactly where I need to be looking. I don't want to start hammering and bashing at the frozen stuff and break the bleeder...

Hi I don't want to hijack this thread but ... I have a 5245 that has just started to give me problems with the brakes. The brake pedal was feeling very soft and spongy. I checked the brake fluid level and it was down - the reservoir seemed to be empty. I topped up the reservoir but the...

Hi Renze No problem with the Google ads - I think you deserve to make a few cents to help cover your costs. Is there any way that the "piece of code" you use could identify Canada versus the USA as a geographic location? Cheers Bob

Thanks "alasdair bailey" for your insightful assistance I don't recall ever claiming to be a mechanic but I am willing to try and, with the help of a number of folks on this board, I believe I am making some progress with my 5245. I am not ready to tackle removing the loader until I try a few...

Is this true?? Is a little air OK?? All of the folks I have spoken too here (Central Ontario Canada) say there should be NO AIR IN THE FUEL SYSTEM. Are there any 5245 owners out there who are experiencing the same thing with air in the float bowl. Because I have been stranded in the farthest...

Thanks for the reply. Yes, the pump was open when I took the shot but not when the tractor was running (it was screwed down nice and tight). Still trying to find the source of the air leak. Maybe I am missing somethingreally obvious here. Am I correct in thinking that it must come from some...

Hi I posted a topic earlier about air in the glass fuel bowl on my 5245 Zetor. So far I have removed and cleaned the fuel tank, replaced the fuel line from the tank to the glass bowl, replaced the gasket on the glass bowl, replaced the gaskets on the banjo fittings, replaced the fuel line to...

I replaced the primer pump this afternoon and am still getting some air in the float bowl :( - not as much as before and I was able to use the tractor to push a little dirt in the barnyard for about ten minutes. I am not sure if it will continue to work for a sustained period but I only had ten...

Hi again I posted earlier about the copper washer sizes and was able to get some at a local diesel repair shop. I've gone over everythign (I think) from the tank, the line, the float bowl seal, the filters and seals, new copper washes in the banjo fittings at the bowl but I still get a little...

Hi folks I am in the middle of a fuel related challenge with my 5245. It has been stalling after running for 15 or 20 minutes and the glass bowl is full of air. By the time I jump down off the tractor I can see the bowl filling with diesel and I can jump back up and start the tractor again...

Does anyone know of a source for this Manual in PDF or ?? format for a 5245? (in English please) Thanks Bob

Hi Based on some excellent advice here I have purchased a new slave cylinder for my 5245. When I was getting ready to install it I discovered that the mounting bracket for the FEL was to close to the cylinder and I am not able to remove the pin that holds cylinder in place. I am short about...

Thank you gentlemen I bled the slave but it still leaks. Will order a new and improved version this coming week. Bob

Hi I haven't ordered directly but have gotten parts from these folks through a local repair shop near Peterborough. I also heard from Dominic S. Ferri at DSF Imports Ltd on a post about clutch parts for a 5245. He is in Mississauga - email ferrid@aol.com Hope it helps Bob

Try this site http://www.cefs.com/ it still works

Hi I was out pulling up a few cedar trees this afternoon and my clutch started acting up - way too much play at the top and very short lift from the bottom before the clutch engaged. When I got back to the barn I checked the reservoir and it was empty. Filled it but wasn't able to open the...

I was told at another web site that Zetor makes a tractor with a [b]front PTO and 3 PH[/]. Can you tell me what model it is and if regular rear mount implements (a snowblower for instance) would work on the front without adapting. Are they available in Canada? What would I expect to pay? How...
