Hi all
,
Been a good few years since I’ve been on here so please be tolerant with me!
I had a 5711 which I sold in troubled times, then since bought a MF
, but always preferred my zetor , so am just about to get another 5711!
Trouble is, it’s left brake is stuck on…. . The things been left outside uncovered for years, although it has been used yearly apparently
. I freed off the right brake by feeding a chain through one ot the wheel spokes ,round the tyre, and back onto itself, then lifted it with a hilift Jack. Wouldn’t work on the left side sadly. There’s no pressure on the pedals, so no brakes , and no handbrake either!? ‘Tis missing?! Engines a bit unknown too, but the exhausts been covered, rads full of antifreeze, oil looks ok too. Alternators solid, but could turn the belt enough to move the crank a bit each way
.
Any tips how to free the brake just to roll it guys? I did brake work on my last one, but would appreciate any advice just to help get it home. Thinking about making a skid/slipper to stick under the jammed side left tyre to get it onto a trailer
.
Thanks for your help
