Pull Starting The Zetor 16145 & Cleaning it up 

Dad bought a 4718 new in 1978. We still use it. Great machine.

These will run forever. I have seen them as as small kid everywhere back in the day. 30 years later they were replaced with newer models but smaller farms still have them and use them daily. Even a snow plowing company we contract on yearly basis to remove snow from a parking lot and driveway is still using one from 80s.

They where a decent tractor, plenty of horsepower for the money. Maybe not the most comfortable but what was in those days. Good useable tractor

This is one of the best tractors from Zetor from Czechoslovakia.

zetors are used to this day, on lot of farms in slovak republic, i know that because we using one for 30 years in row to this day in slovak republic,

In Europe we just called this tractor shortly "sixteen" od "six-turbo". :) At least after this all years, still looking good!

Those were the golden years of zetor

The turbo sounds brilliant

Hello from Ireland, we had Zetor on the farm also. Great Troctor!

Hello from Poland 🇵🇱 . We had URSUS tractor very very similar to Zetor tractor I love this tractors the exhaust sounds is beautiful. Take care dude! They will do good job on your farm.

That will be very much worth putting money into, They seem to be going up in value now.

VERY appreciated tractor in Europe :) Would be very cool if you'd restore it.

Neat one. Thumbs up. You have the "turtle"/"rabbit" lever at the wheel. Use "rabbit" only as motor has at least 1200 rpm. It is a hidraulic clutch, pretty easy to burn the plates. The pressure gotta be 10 bars on this clutch. Rgds from Hungary

First gen Cummins and Zetor tractor. Right on! 🤙 I’m from America but my moms side lives in Germany and they own a farm. My oldest uncle is all about zetors. I remember all the time riding in a zetor when I visited the farm in the summer. Good tractors, hopefully I can own one one day.

That is a monster. Non spin diff was optional, but standard here in Finland.

Very cool, we had many of them back in Hungary.😊

Zetor still exists, produces tractors and original spare parts for your tractor and still has a lot of dealers in the US.

the sound of this zetor 6V /crystal/is unique, today legendary .(:

woow so nice !! great idea 🤩😍

Legendary beast

Good video 👍🏻

That's very good shape of tractor, not much were broken. In Europe you can get for him even $10-15K.

Looks and sounds great!! Pity she had to so long without work but looks like it’s still al there. Water pump is an easy fix and hopefully everything else will be too. Transmission parts are very hard to get apparently. I’ve always wanted one of these but never been able to find one where i am and far way ones always make a good buck. Great video!!

Jedine Zetor

in Czech Republic we have also 10145 it got 4 piston engine and turbo and on roof of the tractor there is text and it says "4 válce stačí když turbo tlačí" that means "4 cylinders are enough when the turbo pushes"

Good video’s I can’t believe more people has not subscribe

Man that’s a nice tractor you should see the old crap we farm with 😬

They started to build the Zetor 8011 and 8045 same style as your zetor in 1969 I am in 🇬🇧 and we have had many Zetors over the years a very good tractors

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

It sounds good, don’t think I’ve seen the 1st gen Dodge before.

👍👍👍

If you will allow a little history. ZTS (ZŤS) is the logo of factories in Slovakia, so the part of Czechoslovakia which exist at that time behind the Iron Curtain. ZŤS is an abbreviation of "Závody Ťažkého Strojárstva", so translated into English it is Heavy Engineering Works. Their main production program was the production of tanks, howitzers and auxiliary tracked vehicles for the needs of the ČSĽA (Czechoslovak People's Army) and for export to the countries of the Warsaw Pact and friendly countries, together with an assortment of products of Soviet manufacturers. From the beginning after World War II they were T34-85 tanks, later T-55, BMP-1, BMP-2 called BVP1 and BVP2 (Bojové Vozidlo Pechoty -Infantry Fighting Vehicle) and from about the mid-1970s T-72, Dana and Zuzana 152mm howitzers on a Tatra chassis 8x8 and auxiliary tracked vehicles such as a rescue tank and for engineers with a pontoon bridge and also an 8x8 armored personnel carriers, in the 80s also demining equipment on tracks and wheels. For civilian use and also because of an attempt to confuse NATO, the ZŤS produced, in addition to tractors under the Zetor brand, they also produced cable excavators of the type D-030, D-032A on the chassis of Tatra 6x6 trucks T111 and later T138. This was replaced in the early 1970s by the Satur telescopic excavator on the Tatra 138 chassis and later on the Tatra 148 chassis, the improved model was called the UDS110 (Univerzálny Dokončovací Stroj - Universal finishing machine) and with the end of the Tatra148 production in the late 1970s the UDS110 was mounted on the Tatra 815 chassis, an improved version of the excavator in the mid-1980s it was named UDS114 and is still produced today on Tatra chassis, as well as others, and also under license in the Russian Federation on Ural and Kamaz chassis. ZŤS also produced the DH-112 wheeled excavator on its own 4x4 chassis, LKT forestry wheeled tractors and various types of wheel loaders, from the smallest UNC-060 which is 4-wheel mini skid loader, various versions of which were later also produced in the Russian Federation under license as MKSM-800 and so on. Today, this ZTS factory is called "Way Industry" and offers "Locust" series wheel loaders. Zetor is the logo of the Czech tractor factory of the former Czechoslovakia. The name Zetor is an abbreviation composed of "Zet" and "tractor", where "Zet" is the declination of the letter Z as "Zbrojovka - Armor" shortened from the name ČZ (Česká Zbrojovka - Czech Armor), which still produces firearms from pistols, hunting rifles, assault rifles and submachine guns and the period of socialism also produced ČZ motorcycles. Among the most famous products are the ZB-26 light machine gun even before World War II. (1926), which after modification to the ZB-36 and ZB-39 became a BREN light machine gun via license produced in Enfield U.K. After the war, it was first the SA-26 (SA vz26) submachine guns, which after modifications in Izrael, became the predecessor of the Uzi submachine gun, later as a response to the AK-47 ČZ developed the SA-52 with Czechoslovak amunition and after SA-58 (SA vz58) assault rifle with soviet ammunition 7,62x39mm and the UK-59 light machine gun (UK vz59 Universal machine gun) with soviet ammunition 7,62x54R, SA vz.63 Skorpion submachine gun for paratroopers and secret policefor 7,65mm browning (.32AUTO), later 9mm Luger (parabelum), and it is also worth mentioning the CZ-75 pistol for 9mm Luger and later .45ACP, which in various modifications is still produced today under the known US brand CSG (CzechoSlovak Group) owned by today also the Colt factories and several American ammunition manufacturers. So, Zetor was created after the nationalization of ČZ as a factory for the development and production of tractors, initially for the domestic market and later also for export. After the fall of the socialist system in 1989, most of the ZŤS factories, successfully or less successfully, had to reorient themselves from military to civilian production, and some of them disappeared. There were several reasons, but the main one was that the former friendly countries had nothing to pay and some of them became enemies, so once large factories feeding half of Slovakia were privatized and sold off. So only factories for the production of excavators and loaders survived. People working in defunct factories left for work in Germany or found work in automobile companies that were gradually established in Slovakia, such as VW, Peugeot, KIA and Land Rover, and a number of small companies as their subcontractors, such as ZF, Delphi... In the Czech Republic, the Zetor, Tatra factory almost went bankrupt, and thanks to the help of local entrepreneurs, it is developing again, but very slowly. The ČZ motorcycle brand has disappeared, as has the Manet motorcycle brand under the Jawa brand in Slovakia. The original car manufacturers in Slovakia also disappeared as TAZ, BAZ, Tatra, LIAZ and in the Czech Republic the Škoda was sell to VW, but the brand did not disappear, but the diesel locomotive manufacturers ČKD, the gearbox and truck manufacturer Praga and Avia disappeared, the bus manufacturer Karosa was bought by Iveco, and the truck manufacturer LIAZ disappeared , who was Škoda's daughter. This is how 90% of our industry went bankrupt from 1990 to 2000 (from clothing and shoe manufacturers to nuclear reactor and turbine manufacturers, semiconductors and electronics producers under concern Tesla brand) and mostly not because of low quality, but because of the "certificates" that Western Europe issued only to its own manufacturers. So now is same situation the entire industry of Europe and the USA is facing the same fate in competition with the Chinese, Russian and Indian industries. And we must and want will join the Russians again, because we remember the old days and the EU gives us no other option.
