Sorry for the inquisition, I'm just trying to find out if there are any more Tatra owners in the U.K. ? I'll try contacting James again to find out, trouble is he's a very hard man to get hold of :roll:

Sorry, presumed it was five because they said they had four for sale not counting the one they wanted to keep, this and the fact you mention a previous customer who I presumed had bought one before, it means this one is still unaccounted for as you and komotiv have two of them, two are still...

Parts For the Zetors are common and very easy to get here in Europe, the model in the pic is a 5718 but almost all the models from that era (1970's) use the same fuel system except the Zetor Crystals which have rotary pumps. If you need help locating suppliers I can forward details for you...

I spoke with James from Manby a while ago about the Tatras they had, I was under the impression there was five trucks in all, so you and Komotiv had one each since and two are still there at Manby, I wonder who had the other one then? The one you had the spare wheel off was for spares yes? I...

It does look similar, the lift pump on the Zetor is bolted to the side of the injection pump but works the same as the Praga one. Here's some pics;

HI. EZFEED - This may be of interest to you; Zetor tractors which are cheq made also use Motorpal injection pumps, they're actually copies of the old Bosch pumps, the tractors have either 4 or 6 cylinder engines, we have a few of these tractors so will post pics ASAP. Duncan - Did your truck...

Hi. Thanks for that, I'd actually already started reading it earlier on today but it's taking me rather a while to get through it all :shock: However it is absolutely full of very useful information, I hope I can contribute to it in the future as I progress with my own vehicle. Good work...

Thanks all. Indeed she does need a repaint and a good going over, however servicing will be my first priority, I want her in perfect mechanical condition before I bother with paint etc as it only ends up scratched and covered in oil if you have any big repairs to make. Besides I'm probably...

Thanks :-D Glad to be on the forum :wink:

Hi All. I've just bought this Tatra 813 here in the U.K. ; I went to see it a few days ago and fell in love with it straight away, after five minutes quickly looking around it I told the seller I was having it!! The deal was done so now just waiting for available transport to bring it...

Hi. Re. parts If you have a look at the 'Supplier' section of the forum on our www.russianmilitarytrucks.com site you will find most of the ones we use, most of our members only own trucks, however there are a few who have BRDM's, OT-90's etc so if you can't get what you want from the listed...

Hi all. I'm new to this forum but have been looking in on it from time to time and thought it was time to say hello, I live in Wales UK and own two soviet era Zil 131s, one's a scrapper I use for spare parts (1980) and the other is one I've been doing up (a 1972), also planning to convert it...
