- Zetor 5211
Hi!
I recently had a problem with some sludge in my diesel tank, so I removed it, drained it, and cleaned it. However, in doing so, the fuel sender and float broke beyond repair. I tried the Zetor dealer, and the replacement is about $300. I tried Ridgeway and the replacement is about $70 but it is on backorder, and they don't know when it will be in.
I looked on Amazon and e-Bay and cannot find any for the 5211. I am wondering if fuel senders from other brands would work, and if so, which brands? The screw pattern is 5 screws in a circle, and I have seen others on Amazon and e-Bay that look similar. The only other difference is that 3 leads are coming into the original sender, and many of the ones I see online have only two. I think one of the leads is a ground, so I could just ground it if that is the case.
Any help would be appreciated so I can get my tractor mowing back out in the pasture again.
Thanks!
