I recently bought a Zetor 6341 that was in need of some minor care and maintenance. I have most of it sorted out, but I do have a few questions:
The hydraulics work fine when cold, but they seem to get weak once the tractor warms up. I assume that the pump is the problem. Has anyone here had any luck with repairing the engine driven pump on these tractors? I am somewhat of a machinist, so grinding and lapping don't worry me, but if it's not worth trying, maybe I will just order a new pump.
My tractor has spent its whole life outside, and some of the plastic items are in poor condition. I bought new handles for the PTO and hand brake levers, but I'm having trouble getting the old ones off. Is there a trick? I'm thinking of trying a hair dryer/heat gun. Will this work?
Thanks in advance.
