I found some information on another site that says the Long 900 is a rebadged Zetor 8011. Do a google search on Zetor 8011 and you will find manuals for sale on the web although the english versions all appear to be in the UK or Australia. Maybe a Zetor dealer can help you if you have one close by. ....

Weasel all you should have to do to move the wheels in is loosen the one wheel you want to move in and turn the steering wheel to the right, if you are doing the right wheel and the left if you are doing the left, and drive forward. tighten that one and repeat the process over for the other one reverse the process if you are moving them out... good luck ....

You guys, have been a big help,,will check on the zetor 8011 for manuals,, i knew how to move the wheels out and in on massey,, but so far I have not even seen this Long, I just bought,, so was not sure what I might need when i go after it,, thanks again,, any information you can share about keeping this tractor running and in good shape could be very helpful,,,was told that on the long tractors you need to keep a close check on the hydraulic ,, because it had such a small reservoir,, and could run low and mess up pump. ....

I am not sure about the Zetor hydraulics, I have a Farm Trac 60 and it uses the Hydraulic fluid in the rear Housing Good luck and lets us know what Happens ....
