loader bushings

[dave5340]

I tried to order some new loader pivot bushings for a zetor system 100 loader from my local dealer but the parts guy couldn't get the part numbers from the computer so he told me I would have to buy a parts book,look up the part numbers and then he could order them.??? I thought bushings were ordinary consummable items
Anyway, if anyone knows where I could find the part#
for the two bushings that are closest to the front windshield
I'd be grateful.thanks

AFAIK these are standard industry bushings. If you have the dimensions, you can look them up online at www.skf.com and order at any industrial supplier nearby.

that's what I figured I might have to do,I just didn't anticipate it being such an ordeal for zetor to cough up these parts since they advertise on their website that their loaders have replacable bushings.
Thanks for your reply,appreciate it.

Zetor factory support isnt as strong in North America anymore, from the looks of things they might back out of the US... In the current economy sales are hard anyways, even in Europe. I guess they rather invest in their sales networks in Europe which is an easier market for them.

In the USA, you can also get parts from http://www.ridgewaytractorparts.com/ which is a grey market supplier.

Hi Dave

The part number for the bushes at the rear of the main lift booms is : 324 999 905 000 . They list 4 so there may be 2 in each side.

Wow thanks Mike,we'll see if that does it tomorrow,thanks again!
As for zetor struggling over here (I'm in Canada) I don't know much about it but till now it has been no problem to get parts which is fortunate because I've had to order a lot of them
I do know some people in the czech republic if it ever gets really bad!!
