Deutz Tractors?

[turtlebay]

Thank you SR you have been very helpful
The hydraulic fluid took almost 2 gals,
A little low I would say!

What are this lever for and what is this foot pedal do
Any ideas?

 

[ptsg]

The pedal is most likely to be the diff lock. The lever seems to be for the remotes.

Now, if I'm seeing correctly, looks like you have a piece of galvanized pipe and an elbow on the hydraulic line going to that block. This is VERY dangerous and the galvanized fittings are not rated for the high pressures of an hydraulic system as they are made to use on water/air plumbing.

If it is indeed galvanized fittings, please replace it with the proper hydraulic fittings so you don't get injured.

Looks like that to me.

Yep, a galvanized line is rated for about 350PSI working pressure, not something that you want to run 2000-3000PSI through...

Thanks for the heads up I never would of thought

They are right, diff lock and remote handle.

BTW, that tractor takes the longer hydraulic filter.

Hi all,

We've just bought a Deutz7206 (FWA) to add a bit more horsepower to the farm. I'm looking for any manuals for this.

In particular any details about the 4 wheel drive as this has been disabled for unknown reasons. I do need to get the 4wd working as we have some steep paddocks.
Where do you get your parts for the older Deutz?

Regards,

FarmIseki

I am not sure where to get parts I haven’t had to
To buy anything yet accept for filters and those
I’ve gotten at Napa parts. Searching on line I’ve
Come a crossed some possibility’s like “Tractor Joe’s “

The 1976 D4506 Duezt seems to have a loader issue, the bucket
only curls when the loader is lifted about 6 + feet above the ground anything less and it wont curl up or down.
any hints?

Thanks

Disabled how???

Is the front drive shaft turning?

Hi.

Update on the 7206A

The drive shaft to the front diff has been removed (and lost!) The only information we could get out of the previous owner was that the: "4 wheel drive had problems as they all did in that model" so they disabled it.

The right hand front hub had only 3 bolts (out of the 25) holding the cover plate on so I thought there may be a problem with this hub reduction gearbox. I removed that cover to find nothing bad that I could identify so I have cleaned it and retapped 22 threaded holes and replaced the cover plate and refilled with oil. I have dropped the front diff oil to find it was cloudy with water contamination but no chunks of metal or anything came out. Now dried out & new oil filled.

I have since found a manual for the gearbox/transmission and this describes a torque test of the front drive. This involves a lever attached to the drive flange and about 2000nm applied to find if it slips. This tests the multi plate clutch used to engage the front drive and some sort of torque limiting device in the "transfer case". I will get the necessary parts together to do this test.

I'd be keen to hear anyone's experience with the Deutz 4 wheel drive system.

[Sawyer Rob]

I had a 6206 and it had a clutch in the front drive line, it was bolted on or close to the transfer case. It would allow the front drive line to slip when you turned on pavement.

The clutch was wore out when I bought the tractor so the front wheels didn't pull much, I shimmed the clutch so it wouldn't slip as much.

I just got deutz D4506 with a loader and 6' bush-hog , it runs good and starts very easy,I don't do much except mow a lot or two for people and so far it's woking find. new to tractor bynet. I go by Jack

 

[gearshifter80]

I have a D4506 and the book says 1
5w-40 for the motor oil. the book is in the shop so I don't remember the hgy oil.

 

[Sawyer Rob]

I would put 15w-40 diesel rated oil in the diesel and GOOD trans hydraulic oil in the transmission/hydraulics.

That's what I've always run in mine...

[turtlebay]

Sawyer Rob do you know of another hydraulic filter on the D4506 besides the one with 3 nuts triangular shaped. Is there a pre filter screen some where?

 

[Sawyer Rob]

There is a basket/screen in the hydraulic system, if I remember right, you access it through the top cover access on the tractor... (under the seat??)

It's been a long time since I cleaned one, and I'm not getting any younger! lol

I have a 6250 that has been mostly trouble free. The air cooled feature makes it tough to start in winter. I have an oil heater for it. Synthetic engine oil helps.

I have a hard time finding service info for it though. Any leads on places to get manuals online at non-absurd prices. ($40 for a 26 page manual? in electronic format?)

Why would it be harder to start in winter than a liquid cooled engine?
