hubs take standare 80 gear oil, although I also add lucas oil additive. Put the plug at 3 or 9 oclock and add oil till it runs out of the hole. Drain and flush it first there are lots of small needle bearings in there that can get pitted from condensation that has collected in the oil...
Good to see someone else actually using there tatra, I love hearing aobut your rides! just wait till you do some extremem offroading youll be amazed how it just keeps on going and going.
open the front hatch onthe engine in front of the truck and there is a manual fuel pump lever you can pump...
Clutch wont work without air pressure, once you get your air pressure issue fixed you should be fine. Also trace out your air lines there are lots of valves someone may have closed. There is also a valve by the rear passanger side of transmission that puts air to the axles etc to keep water...
Check the neutral selenoid pull the hatch off over the tranmission in the bed. The electro pnumatic selenoid for the neutral sits on the passanger side behind the tranny. Make sure you have power to the selenoid (24v?) the make sure you have air. You could always pipe a bypass around it with a...
One more thing the fuel tanks tend to rust from the inside out and be paperthin and may burst at any time. Ive heard some bad stories, mine all are fine but check it out just in case.
The Y connection in the exhaust behind the cab tends to fall apart also keep an eye on it.
sorry for the...
One more tip, we dont have much for metric hoses or fittings in the U.S. so if you take your hoses to a rubber/hose shop they can take the ends (fittings) off of your existing hoses, braze a new nipple onto it and put a standard hose.
You probably have access to metric hoses but may be not the...
Just a thought, the only time I have ever had a hard time starting is when I changed the fuel filters and had air in the lines, there is a manual pump at the fuel pump to prime the lines, I could never get the lines primed finally found a hairline crack in the fuel line at the tank, it wouldnt...
Get the manuals from the guy in Alaska they are like inch and a half thick way too much to try to photocopy, they have a operational manual that explains how to use everything and also goes over a lot of maintenance, some repairs and oiles etc, it teaches you the correct way to drive under...
Im using the same oil in my tatra, and yes I put lucas additive in everything also. I have a spare injector pump I got on e-bay also.
I use tranny fluid in the power steering pump
It is 1 injuector pump with 12 outlets. There is a dip stick for measuring the leverl.
If you go back earlier in...
Good to hear you got it running:!: As far as I know there is not preheater as you said? I know there are no glow plugs, its direct ignition. I always pull the choke and it fires up even in very cold weather. I have used Ether if the batteries were low.
Never drive it with low batterys, the...
congrats on the new truck!! you are going to love it.
I see you have already been introduced to its welcoming cloud of smoke.lol
Try to flip the switch on the top left hand of the dash tall white toggle switch. that is a bettery disconnect switch and will get power to everything.
Before...
The truck was a line truck before I bought it, it has front and rear hydraulic winches. I still havn't figured out how to operate the winches.
There is a sign in the cab that says "operater is not to leave the cab if the neutral lockup overide button it on and the pto is engaged?
