That would be a later conversion by the owners. Think Zetor produced all of their own in house components back in the days of the 8011 and 8045.

Were any of the Zetor 8011 4WD ?
Can the 2WD Zetor 8011 be easily converted to 4WD ?
No the gear for the 4 wheel drive was not fitted to the 8011 but it was fitted to all 12011...................
some 8011s here have Perkins 6354 engines, were the shipped from the factory with these engines or put in later?
All 6345 engines were fitted when the Zetor engine died..................................

Any of the conversions I drove and worked on were ok on the clutch but I knew of some that were out slightly and they played merry hell with the clutch and torque.....................................

is there some way of testing that before one buys a converted 8011 ?

Standard clutch and pressure plate..............................................
Many of these conversions seem to have been done in munster, do you remember which engineering company made the bell housing adaptor plate (I assume there was an adapter plate between the engine and bell housing) ?

John McGannon , from Co Wexford .

His plates were trouble free . Some amateur plates weren't...
I think that he is still to the good , and that some of the family do something with forklifts nowadays .

Is there any way to recognise McGannon plates?
Did McGannon leave any external signature mark on his plates ?

Absolute bu......t
Ursus 3110 engine was 6.354 from zetor factory.
All models with 2wd are ready for 4wd.
You need shaft adapter on gearbox, different power steering and couple other parts. Email me if need help : [email protected]

Sure that's a nice way to start a first post....
So the original Ursus C3110 had a factory fitted Perkins but did any Zetors , which is what the thread is about,have a factory fitted one? Certainly none came to the UK or Ireland with a ff Perkins.
