question Free Zetor 4320 Project - some trouble with

[Tmcknight76]

I am the proud owner of a Zetor 4320 with a 102 loader.
It was my grandpa's tractor and after his passing it was left to my Uncle.
He used it occasionally, but not much. About 8 years ago the tractor quit running and would not start back. He left it where it died and that is where it has been since. Today I started cutting back the brush and brambles to uncover the Zetor. I have no idea what's it's going to need, but it looks like I've got a winter project.

Sound interesting and a Zetor 4320 is a good tractor - easy to repair.

That is encouraging. I don't know much about Zetor, but I'm glad I found ZetorWorld.com! I'm sure I will have lots of questions.

That looks in amazing condition, seeing it's stuck in a hedge. I found one in this country pulled out of a hedge after some time and it looks like this.

Wow! That makes mine not look that bad. Yours may have been sitting a little longer than mine.

This is Ireland. It's not mine, but for sale in Ireland at the moment. I would never leave any of my tractors outside even 1 day or night and not be in a shed.

Oh, I see. I hope they are not asking too much for that one. I wish my uncle would have moved this one under the shed, instead of just leaving it where it died. The shed is only 25 feet from where the tractor is setting. That would have save me a couple cans of PB Blaster (rust penetrate.)

That tractor will make a 1000 euro in this country, be a little more than a thousand American dollars. Eventhough it's probably only worth around 500. But scrap value is high at the moment so for it's weight alone be worth that.
