Machinery:
Zetor 3340 with Cab and Loader 1995
The Hydraulic/Transmission oil looks dirty, and may not have been serviced for a long time now, so I want to service it.
I purchased this Zetor 3340 1999 with a shuttle-shift Transmission just this past February.
What kind Hydraulic/Transmission oil do I need for it?
Also what filters do I need for it too?

The engine oil was done back July 2022, so I would to to service the Z-5203 engine oil also.

I want change the front wheel oil too. I have never done any of those before too.

Any help and suggestions is very appreciated.

Gearbox/hydraulic = SAE 80W-90 API GL4 UTTO
Engine = SAE 15W-40 as default

Attention!
Frontaxle needs other oil and hydraulics steering to.

Hi Joachim,
Thank you for your reply.
Do you know what oil the front-axle wheels use ?

I found this:
Oil for Front-Wheel-Drive Planetary Reduction Housing Oil = TAB 2 (2 x 0.20 Light or is it 2 x 0.50 heavy)
But I am not sure what it means.

Best use this one for your Carraro front axle:
SAE 80W-90 API GL-5 Hypoid LS

eg.:
Mannol SAE 80W-90 Hypoid GL5 LS
or Liqui Moly 4406 Hypoid GL5 SAE 80W-90 axle gear oil
or ESSO Torque Fluid 62

Important - it should be a LS (limited slip), GL5 and Hypoid (for differencial gearboxes) oil for your front axle.
 
Hi Joachim, Looks like this company does Not ship to the USA. I tried to register with them and they seem to only ship to your area in the world.
But thank you for posting it.

I am still looking for the proper oil.
Can I use the Tractor Supply: Traveller 5 gal. Gear Lube, SAE 80W-90 GL5 oil
https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/traveller-gear-lube-sae-80w-90-5-gal-t805468
for the Gearbox/hydraulic (gearbox and rear ends) ?
 
Joachim said:
No, its not a good idea. No GL5 in the UR1 gearbox, only GL4 please.

Hi Joachim,
I am not able to find any affordable amount of GL-4 in the USA.
I looked up, what is the tech difference between them (GL-4 and GL-5).
I found info that about 5 years a go GL-4 was better as it had the newest additives back then.
But today it is saying GL-5 is better formulated now and so it is better to use.

I do not know what is correct at this point in time.
So I am Not able to purchase from Germany as they only sell in your neighborhood ONLY.
At this point in time it looks like my only option is to use GL-5.

GL 5 is "better" but in your old tractor, it can be it makes the synchronised shifting in gears 4 and 5 harder. And thats the point why its better to use a API GL4 instead of a API GL5.

I searched a little bit with google, and found as one of the first this oil:
Red Line 50505 MT-85 gearbox oil 75W85 GL-4

I think when you doesnt can find it online, you should ask Zetor.ua or a oil dealer for that. Possible, that this oil have an other declarartion on us market. I dont know.
 
I do not know if this would be a difference, but I have the Shuttle-Shift with the 5 speed transmission.

So I need about 10 gallons (Red Line oil) at a cost, before shipping and tax, is $90.60 a gal, times 10 = $906.00 for just 10 gals of oil.
That I can not do, that oil cost is to high.

I will continue to look for this oil.
 
Should work... yes.
 
Going to the SAE 75W-90 Synthetic Gear Oil, API GL-4 oils, I can find several options.
I can order Four 5gallon pails, which totals 20 gallons for $485.61 ($24.28 a gal)) delivered.

Ultra1Plus SAE 75W-90 Synthetic Gear Oil, API GL-4 (5 Gallon Pail) | eBay

Ultra1Plus™ 75W-90 API GL-4 Gear Plus Synthetic Oil highlights Ultra1Plus SAE 5W-30 Full Synthetic Motor Oil API SP ILSAC GF-6A, dexos1 Gen3. Ultra1Plus SAE 10W-30 Synthetic Blend Motor Oil, API SP, ILSAC GF-6A | 5 QTS.
www.ebay.com

Can I use this oil for the Gearbox/hydraulic, Front-Wheel Planetary Reduction and Front Axle Differential Housing ?
 
For front axle, in your cas Carraro axle, best oil will be SAE 75W-90 API GL5 LS Hypoid to work proper/best with your multi-plate differential lock in that axle.

Stamdard SAE 75W-90 you can best use in gear box, rear end drives, steering gear box (but never in steering hydraulics )
 
For the Front Axle (Front Axle Differential Housing), Cas Carraro Axle, I am looking at this oil here:
Fully Synthetic Hypoid Gear Oil GL4/5 75W-90, 1 Liter, 22090

Also will 1 Liter be enough for the Front Axle Differential Housing (Cas Carraro Axle) ?

Check the manual please , I think for a complete front axle you need 4 oder 5 litres.

I used this:

Hypoid Gear Oil (GL5) LS SAE 85W-90

I found this in the manual, Front Axle Differential Housing (Cas Carraro Axle): about 1.5 gallons (about 5.5 Liters)
Thank you !

I believe this is the same: Hypoid Gear Oil (GL5) SAE 85W-90, 1 Liter Can plastic $16.40

I was only able to find this filtre: 7011 4566
from ebay and I asked them if they had the
Large Rubber Seal: 7011 4563
and the
Small Rubber Seal: 93 1136
Which they replied, they were not able to find.
The photo looks to have the Small Rubber Seal on the filter itself.
I have ordered this filter and will have to see what the Zetor has when I change the filter and Gear/Hydraulic oil
(Ultra1Plus SAE 75W-90 Synthetic Gear Oil, API GL-4).
If I will need a Large Rubber Seal, I will be able to see what that this all about then.
There seems to be no good picture or video showing what it looks like.

Then its the wrong dealer... that are well known numbers, often selled.



Every Zetor dealer should be able to sell this, that are truely standard spare parts, often asked bei customers.

You can try to contect Barts for the needed spare parts. I think they should they know and sell.

Zetor - 931136 - JT

<no_translation>
de.bartsparts.com

Zetor - 70114563 - FILTERRING ZETOR

<no_translation>
de.bartsparts.com
 
When trying to register with Barts Parts (Germany)

they do not like my valid email, ?

They want something that looks like this: example, max-example.de

Which I believe there example is not a valid email in the USA.

So looks like that’s a no-go.
 
Not trying to register, but just place the order.
The order form is not all Translated into English, like Vereinigte Staaten.
I got past that which means USA.
The shipping is:
Leider können ein oder mehrere Artikel in Ihrem Warenkorb nicht an Ihren Standort versandt werden. Bitte wählen Sie eine andere Lieferadresse.
I have no idea what that is.

I give up. it is to difficult just to place an order with them.

It does not work .

You will find the spare parts also at Zetor genuine and original replacement parts | Zetor North America | Zetor North America - https://eshop.zetorna.com/?partscategory=HYDRAULIC+SYSTEM%7C+THREE+POINT+HITCH
But yes - the price is much higher then in Europe.

This one seems to have a little bit cheaper prices:

Tractor Parts for Zetor Tractors | Ridgeway Enterprises

Ridgeway Enterprises is an American based company that supplies tractor parts for farmers, tractor dealers, and individual tractor owners.
ridgewaytractorparts.com

just try a google search:
- open Google search
- type in "Zetor 70114566 shop"
to find a shop thats deliver to USA.

Iam from Germany, so I cant realy tell you whats the best online shop buy the spare parts you want.
Sorry, but a little bit Google search should show you possible Zetor spar parts dealers for the us market.
The problem is, its for us dealers (Iam selling also Zetor spare parts, but only inner Europe countrys) its lats years being more and more complicated to sell/ship things outer Europe or outer Germany. More and more laws, more and more paper...
 
Hi Joachim,
Thank you for your very good help, I do appreciate it.

Yesterday I received an email from a Zetor warehouse, suggesting I contact the Zetor dealer,
Rene J Fournier's Farm Equipment in the far northern part of Vermont.
Today I called them and placed an order through them for the Filters and Seals.

I also order two other filters with this order.

Gearbox/Hydraulic Oil Filter: 7011 4566
Large Rubber Seal: 7011 4563
Small Rubber Seal: 93 1136
Fuel Filter: short version
Power Steering Filter: smaller Dia. version

The cost will be about $162.00 delivered.
 
Ok, thats fine.

But I am a little bit shocked like the prices in over sea are much higher than here in Europe. But ok, shipping costs in this days not less money so...

UPS is delivering today and I will show the item cost with shipping and taxes cost after I receive.

UPS shipping indicates this order being shipped from ZETOR NORTH AMERICA INC a warehouse in Jacksonville, FL, United States.

This Order was placed through Zetor dealer, Rene J Fournier's Farm Equipment.
