question A rogue bolt - Zetor 5748

[John Parker]

While I was fiddling about replacing the brake hose on a Zetor 5748 I dropped a hose connector bolt down the hole in the cowling. I was using the bolt cut off the old brake hose to feel where the threaded hole was and to gauge what angle it needed to go in and then I dropped it. I am going to try and fish it out with a magnet, but do you reckon this is something to worry about? Are there gears and whatnot it could mess up? The photo shows the cowling on the left side at the rear.

Thanks for advice

There shouldn't be much going on there, since it only contains your brake drum and brake band, but no gears.
Try using the magnet to get into the housing from the front, where the handbrake linkage goes.

Edit Info: wrong language, now its English and OK

Da dürfte nicht viel los sein, da sich nur deine Bremstrommel und dein Bremsband darin befinden, aber keine Zahnräder.
Versuchen Sie, mit dem Magneten von vorne in das Gehäuse zu gelangen, wo das Handbremsgestänge hinkommt.

Hmmm....a reply in German language, when the question was asked in English. Going against your own forum rules now, Joachim ?

This is what happens when you're not careful with Google Translator...

Thanks for the advice, I managed to get it back with a magnet. Got the brake hose replaced too, what a pain that was!
