    depend on where your located.
    john conaty in kells or matt buckley in mullingar do a lot of parts.
    dont know whether they make new bonnets or mudguards for zetors though.

    as far as i know neither do the parts you are after.
    matt buckleys will get them for you though.

    Had one of these for years. Super engine & lift but the body let it down, mudguards & bonnet were always too flimsy

    Spotted this one at a vintage show last summer, looks great

    Nice Tractor, great engine and hydraulics, Clive Pratt in Cavan might have some of the parts you are looking for

    Hi Redbull

    The alternator is wired as follows,

    The alternator has 3 spades,

    The middle spade is not used, the large spade that is left is connected to the battery via the positive feed to the starter, not the main stater feed but the feed for the wiring loom, used reasonably heavy cable 6mm in diameter for this, if there is no positive point to link to on the tractor this cable can be connected directly to the positive pole of the battery,

    The small spade is connected to a bulb, light you can put on your dasy, or if you can find the charge light in the loom you can use this, sometimes it is easier to add a new bulb,

    The bulb required a positve from the key, and then connect the negative on the bulb to the small spade,

    What happens is when the tractor is started the alternator charges when a certain speed is reached, the negative on your bulb switches to positive and the bulbs goes out letting you know it's charging, if you need any more info let me know,

    Sisu
