proud owner of 4718

[the_sussex_zetor]

Hello all.
I collected my 4718 yesterday. It a total fixer upper - it goes but you have to hot wire it to make it start and then it sounds like a machine gun is going off (previous owner suspects crankshaft problems) - everything is oily and radiator looks super rusty.
I have looked online and malpas seem to sell quite a lot for them.
I could really appreciate some information on the best place to buy bits
I intend to rebuild the engine but would appreciate the owners manual and info on where I can buy new body panels and mudguards or are these not available due to age of tractor?

I am also missing key - where could I get one of these? Many thanks Ian

At www.ibeno.cz you can buy hood panels mudguards and repair kits

I advise you to check valve clearance first. A bent pushrod can make it rattle really bad.

Also lubricate the fuel pump. If one element is stuck it may also run on 2 legs.

always worth looking on ebay, in the business/agriculture section.
theres usually keys on there.
