Have you checked the gearbox oil?

 

Assuming you have- and it still doesn't move does it make a difference whether the tractor is pointing up or down hill? Also just check the levers which control the 3PL are connected under the cab properly- you may have to jack the cab up a little to get to them- I used to have a 7045 (4wd version of yours) and I remember there was a little split pin which connected the two rods together and this had come out.

Ok sitting in the tractor the lever on the left does the PTO and the one on the right first the 3 point to be honest I've been putting the processor out with the forklift & just attaching the pto so I don't even know if the tractor will pick the processor up as it's over a tonne

It will lift it- in a pretty creaky kind of way. I used to have a postdriver on mine which was a ton, it was ok. The 3PL lever is the lever nearest the righthand wheel arch as you sit in the seat. The PTO lever/clutch is on the left/looks like a handbrake. You have both 540 & 1000 speed too on that tractor- lever down in between your feet just before the step In the cab.

We had an old zetor at home, she was a beast brakes were terrible, the wiring, well let's just say I wouldn't like a Slovakian sparky in my house! All wires were white, with writing ok if you understand Slovakia n

What's the lever on the right for gears?

 

Can the Hydralics be turned off Mat

OH Christ, that reminds me, the manuals are horrific- very badly translated to English- but gives you an idea I guess!

The Beauty of the Zetors is you barely need wiring if you are just using it on a farm/yard. Most of the wiring is for luxurys like the lights/heaters etc. As long as it starts your good to go.

Not turned off as such, but there is (from memory) a 'diverter' tap which is also situated underneath the cab. These series tractors were originally designed without a cab and the cab being retro designed annoyingly covers access for some pretty essential maintenance (you'll no what I mean when if you need to bleed your brakes ever.

 

The cab can be jacked up a bit, take out the 2 bolts that go through the cab shock absorbers on the rear or the cab (as you stand looking at the 3PL from the rear 1 bolt on each side of the cab. By using a small bottle jack you should be able to jack the cab up a few inches (before the font of the cab pushed up agaist the bonnet) wedge the cab to stop it sitting back down and you should now be able to see the various connecting rods going from the 3PL down into the gear box.

 

Lever on the floor (on the right) is the low box, low/high ratio.

If you can't get any luck from my suggestions- try the 'Zetorworld' forum, some helpful members on there...
