Ferguson tractor Z134 valve job

Ugh, that looks like fun to deal with! What is that off of? I think the hardest part on the tractor is over, now it's just a matter of fixing little long-neglected bits and getting everything dialed in.

My Zetor 5211

Looks like a good old machine. There are a fair number of them around here even though I don't know where any dealers are. I think some of the 90's Agco Allis tractors were Zetor rebrands.

Old tractors and old chainsaws have a lot in common .You get so used them you know what to thump on when they act up .You wait until it drives you nuts then fix it .

Those where SAME of Italy. We have one of those too. Agri-power 5000 and 7000 where Zetors. John Deere 2000 series in south America where Zetors.

Woah, looks like I'm running a little rich!

I think that's just typical .My two Fergies get black plugs but for some reason Ollie the OC6 crawler does not and all three have Marvel-S carbs .Then come to think of it Ollie had a complete carb rebuild and the other two have not .
I had mentioned the float needles have a tendency to stick every so often .Weather the needle with a rubber tip would be better I really can't say but it only takes a tiny speck of of dirt or rust to cause them problems .

I leaned it out a bit and runs alot better now. Mowed some with it yesterday and did great. I adjusted the rod from throttle to governor to give a bit more tension, now it holds rpm better. Still going to replace the cork disc when I get a chance.

 

[legdelimber]

Any chance that you could cut a friction disc (or two) from some of that stiff brown, fibrous gasket stock and use it in the throttle lever pivot?

 

[FergusonTO35]

I'm sure I could. The cork disc used on Fords of the same vintage apparently works with a bit of trimming so I bought one. Every place I looked at just sells the slightly larger Ford version.

Ok, got the new cork friction disc installed. The old one was brittle and slick, no surprise it didnt work well. I went ahead and cleaned and greased all the pivot points of the throttle and governor mechanism since it had to come apart anyway. Buttoned it back up and mowed for a little while and she is running great!

That's great to hear!

Thanks! Did you get the Zetor going again?

 

[Steve]

Sure did! Just putting it away now. Shoes still need to seat in but it good till the next thing breaks!
