hi zetor world , we are in the process of restoring our zetor 5545 and we have stripped out the front axle to find it had been run without oil at some stage and is ruined inside , all bearings , seals drive couplings etc are completely shot , i have tried in vain here in ireland to source some new replacement parts to no avail , i have also tried the uk and the check republic but all parts are obsolete , does anyone know where i might track down some of these parts please , it is hindering our completion of the restoration .
thanks for all those links , i did try roy and i got some other parts off him before and he was sound to deal with but nothing for the front axle im afraid .
I have a good few Vintage tractor books, there is always ads in them for spares for all makes, I'll have look at them and if I find anyone different I'll stick it up here.
ok thanks a million for your help , i will look tobins up ,
yeah ive been " tangling " with tony brady for a while now , a good freind of mine was down there a few months back and he spotted a 5748 in for breaking with a complete front axle so i gave him a cal and guess what , " not for sale " !!!!
yes i would said bradys too there is no point going to a modern shop you need lads dealing in vintage tobins would be my first choice but im surprised there's not someone in uk or in czech republic or poland

what do you think are the chances of them finding the parts ? you gave him a great choice but the thing is i don't think that model wouldn't been popular in ireland back then so there hardly too many here only if it was imported
Your 100% correct, I never heard of 5545 before this anyway, and I have a lot of different Zetors in my time since 1977. I gave him as many names was in an Zetor vintage magazine.
