Just want to update this as the issue has been solved. Ended up being the seals that had worn and oil was leaking out. Got them replaced and all working perfect now.

Replaced the hydraulic pump this morning. Disappointed to report it has not helped at all. Tractor still won't lift any weight. At a total loss now

Thanks for all your help! I'm v appreciative. I took out the pump and brought it to a dealer, very weak. Ordering a replacement. Dealer thinks the oil was too thick as well, he thinks its might have been universal lubricant rather than something designed for hydraulic systems, he said the pump...

Thanks for this! Oil seems to be all good for the 3p lift, so must be some other problem with it! Didn't get to check the breaks yet, will have a look tomorrow and see. Need to sort wiring too, most of the dashboard lights don't work and the right indicator seems to be wired to the light...

I recently inherited a Zetor 5211 tractor. There's no manuals and there doesn't seem to be much online about it. I'd consider myself handy enough at doing repairs so don't fancy a trip to the garage just yet. But I do have a few qs and any help is greatly appreciated. 1. Foot brake: the foot...
