zetor 5211

Hi! I recently had a problem with some sludge in my diesel tank, so I removed it, drained it, and cleaned it. However, in doing so, the fuel sender and float broke beyond repair. I tried the Zetor dealer, and the replacement is about $300. I tried Ridgeway and the replacement is about $70 but...

Is the left side lever between your knees on the floorboard only to be moved with the tractor turned off, or should the right lever in N allow that lever to be switched back and forth? Trying to decide if my tractor isn't acting right or that I'm the one that is messed up? I can't go from pto...

Ok, I am a little puzzled here.... I have a Zetor 5211, one of the last commie built tractors. Runs great. Very low hours. I replaced all the brake/clutch/master cylinders etc when I bought it 10 years ago. Now, lately it's acting up and I'm puzzled. The Clutch works then doesn't work...

I recently inherited a Zetor 5211 tractor. There's no manuals and there doesn't seem to be much online about it. I'd consider myself handy enough at doing repairs so don't fancy a trip to the garage just yet. But I do have a few qs and any help is greatly appreciated. 1. Foot brake: the foot...

I am posting this on a few different forums, so if you have seen this already, please forgive the duplicate post. I have a Zetor 5211 that recently died in the middle of bushogging the pasture. It acted like it ran out of fuel, but it had over 1/2 a tank full. I had a mechanic come out and the...

Hello All picked up a 5211 that was well neglected and started to revive her, had a blown # 3 head gasket and block side freeze plug was mia so apparently it was pushed out during cold weather. as delivered to our place

I have a Zetor 5211 and whenever I want to use it it wont start because the battery is dead. We went all through the wiring and traced wires and replaced bad wires and put a battery cut off switch to ensure the battery wouldn't bleed. After that we put a new battery and it worked fine for a...

I bought a '94 Zetor 5211 last year to replace my old Ferguson TO-35, mostly because I always wanted a tractor with a loader. It's turning out to be way bigger and heavier than I like for what I do around the small farm we have and I am not a big fan of the loader, mostly because I have access...

Just wondering if the problems with my hydraulics could be that the oil used did not meet the specs required by my tractor. Can anyone tell what the hydraulic oil specs are for a Zetor 5211? I thought I would drain and clean everything in the hydraulic system and refill with the proper oil to...

I have a 91 Zetor 5211 and the brake pedal goes to the floor. I would like to replace the master cylinders and wheel cylinders. I understand that some have disk and some have drum brakes. Before I tear into it, how can I tell if it is equipted with drum or disk brakes? Thanks. Curtis861

I'm new to this and still trying to figure it out, I have zetor 5211 and pto lever tries to kick out when bush hogging. No wear anywhere i found. Extended detent spring with nut under spring, about 3/16, but that not helped. I pulled off the top of trans and everything looked good there...

My Zetor 5211,, been good, except now. When bushhogging my lever tries to move forward and kick out of gear. Thought it was detent pin and extended spring about 3/16, nut under spring, but didn't help. Pulled off the top of trans and no wear anywhere, looks good. I finished the field...

Greetings all!! I just got an '84 Agri-power 5000, AKA Zetor 5211. I've spent all week getting it running and changing/cleaning all fluids and filters. Unfortunatly, there are no labels left to tell me what each lever and knob does. There are two levers left of the seat, and three on the...

While bush hogging with my Zetor 5211 my PTO will randomly pop out of gear. It seems to do it on tight turns and anytime the grass gets really thick. After I stop, throttle down and put it back in gear (with clutch of course) it shakes very hard initially then smooths out. If I put my foot in...

My Dad just bought an older Z 5211. Runs good but they cant get PTO to engage. Fellow he bought it from is out of pocket for a few days, or he may have left country who knows. Any response on shifting sequence would be appreciated by forum response or my e mail is...

Can anyone tell me how to use the 5211's compressor, I can see it, but I have no idea where the nozzle is or how to turn it on, the manual doesn't explain anything about it.

I need to service my grandfathers 5211. Is 15w 40 motor oil ok for the engine? I can't seem to figure out where to fill the hydraulic fluid, some have told me theres a cap on the floor under the seat but I can't find it. Also is standard universal hydraulic fluid ok or does it need something...

My factory battery went out a few years ago and since then I can't seem to find a suitable replacement, no battery has lasted six months on my tractor. I'm not sure what size to get and only use the tractor once a month or so. Any suggestions for battery size/ type or how to make them last...

Any tricks ie safety switches etc. to starting up ? It has been idle about 10 months, have new battery.

Hi, I have a zetor 5211, which has recently become hard to start with white/grey smoke on start up, smoke doesnt disappear when hot. Had the injectors done, no improvement, there is very little pressure in crankcase, so I can presume compression is ok. do they give any pump trouble? Billy

I am thinking of buying a Zetor 5211 with an aftermarket loader. I don't know much about Zetor tractors. Tractor seems in good condition and BIG and HEAVY. Seems clean. Are they lemons? Should I shy away. Price seems right. Thanks in advance.

I am looking for the Fair Market Value on a 1982 Zetor 5211, 2-wheel, full cab (heated), 550hrs. I will try to post some pictures later. Anyone interested, it is located in Northeastern PA.
