He is never going to put this to work surely.

thanks for all the comments lads , the owner assures me that the tractor will be worked but minded carefully at the same time .

greendragon3

sooooo......... we are nearly nearly nearly there .....

got the last few bits onto the windscreen , the owner managed to source some screw clamps for the inside of the windscreen and i got two plastic screws from the side of an old CB that i had lying in the house and these worked perfect in the sliders that hold the windscreen open ( the old ones were knackered and broke off during cleaning ) .

the owner got some clever single sided " draught strip " from somewhere and i worked perfect for the inside of the windscreen frame where it closes against the cab , i didn't get any close up shots yet but she is fitted in now and opening and closing perfect .

the brother cut out some of the rubber sheet that we had and molded it as best he could to all the contours each side of the lower part of the cab , should help to ease up on some of the draughts getting in .

Lovely job altogether!

Would you say working with red paint is easier than bright yellow?

Will it be a show piece or does the owner intend to use it for anything?

Sure it would be a waste otherwise, tractors like this need to be given some work to keep them right. "Light duties".

Can't understand the mentality of fix it so we will never use it again.... Sure it might as well stay broke.

I hope the owner enjoys working it, and takes good care of it.

I have to admit, I originally hated the yellow but with all the badges etc on it, I kinda like it now.

Amazing work as usual from the Green Dragon.

There is work and there is work if you know what mean.
We are hardly going to see it buried in a bog somewhere with a big John deere dragging it out and bending tin work etc.
Common enough sight where I live as they are still a very common tractor and the only tractor on alot of the small farms here.

A rare model indeed. I was hoping the 8011 was next!!

greendragon3

brought her home and had her running and driving after about 20 mins no joke !!!

and would you believe there is brakes on it , couldn't believe it as the first thing that always goes on the zetors is the brakes ,
anyway this how she looked after we got her home .

You're a glutton for punishment!:D

greendragon3

gave her the obligatory soak in jizer and a good wash and she came up very well ,
bit tatty at the front but the rest is very original ,
it has had a new set of boots at some stage but they are getting a bit perished from lying up ,
lift , brakes , clutch , gearbox , engine all spot on ,
i was amazed at the original tin work including the rear window frame which would have been an extra when new ,

it will make a very nice easy restoration , the thing is weather we decide to keep it or not !!!!!

I watched that rebuild with admiration. 5611 would be almost identical to my 6718.

No, I remember the 5611 Well!

I must be imagining things.... I thought I remembered seeing a photo of the line up of your tractors which included a rebuilt 8011.

Didn't some of those Zetor roll frames have a removable corner pillar, to allow you use the the manual spout controls on a single chop harvester?
