question Throttle Cable Zetor 6718

[Brian]

Does anyone have a photo of how the throttle cable is routed under dash please?

Mine doesnt look right and the lever is on left so it hits your legs when its engaged.
I'm guessing the steering column needs turning 180deg but how do i route the cable?

I can take pictures at my Zetor 2011 next hours, its pretty much the same.

 

[Brian]

Thankyou
Should the trottle lever be on the right above the gear stick, so you push it away from you?

 

[Joachim]

Yes, on the right side:


gas throttle cable:

Your plastic pulley is already quite worn. Normally there should be a PVC hose over the Bowden cable to protect the pulley.

 

[Brian]

Thanks Joachim, Does the cable just wrap around the top of the steering colmn like mine?

 

[Joachim]

I mean yes.


It is hard to photograph without unscrew the dashbord.

 

[Brian]

thats perfect thank you Joachim

In an attempt to rotate the steering column i removed the 4 M10 nuts and started to pry the column from the box when i got a bad feeling, seams like i will be unable to get the column back in. Am i making a mistake here?


What is the purpose of this cap?

 

[Joachim]

Some models have the lever on the other side - so its possible yours have it on the left side I think.

I will try to search or mak ebetter photos from my Zetor ....

 

[Brian]

I am pretty sure it should be on the right because as it is the lever hits your knees when you use it

 

[Joachim]

marked one is the plast tube


red = screw
green = friction inserted piece
blue = insertion
yellow = lubricating nipple

So the red one is that:

 

[Brian]

some extra info . I am unable to remove the steering wheel as it has corroded onto the shaft so when i released the bottom of the column from the steering box I assume the worm drive has moved out of position. Anyone have ideas on how to proceed?

 

[Joachim]

You need to spray it serveral days with WD40 or similar.

And then use a special tool like the original one:

Thanks again for your help Joachim.

I fabricated a puller yesterday and have left it overnight soaking, under moderate tension. Hopefully in a few days it will pop off
