Mine isn't seized which is a surprise. No spring. No alternate stubs.

I bought a 3cx years ago to work on my own land. Leant to drive it by trying and getting stuck a few times. Now know how to change hoses etc.

There is a seat on the rake and a lever that lifts the tines to release the hay. A double pull will set the mechanism but that just seems to lock the wheels. Maybe I should video it.

Anyone out there who can help with a PTO. Problem. I have a Zetor 8111 that I was using to drive a wood chipper. The pto stopped working. I checked the gearbox oil level (plug on floor of cab) It is just covering the tip of the dipstick. Dipstick does not have any markings. Could this be...

Thanks

I was told that before when I had a 1976 machine. Any ideas on how to get the grease oil mixture in.

That could be a reason. I have been replacing a lot of seals including the slew seals. When I took the bottom plate off there was no oil or grease. Just some crude on the plate.
