The cabin is designed for 3 people, including the driver, and has some similarities with the ZIL-4331 cabin. The truck also has a power steering mechanism, the clutch and brake mechanisms are hydraulically driven.

The main gear is hypoid. Disc brakes are installed on the front wheels, drum brakes are installed on the rear wheels. The gearbox is manual and has five stages. The wheels reach 16 inches in diameter and are equipped with tubeless tires. The truck has a turning radius of 7 meters. The vehicle weighs approximately 4 tons. The maximum speed that a truck can reach is 95 km/h.

The truck can carry up to 3 tons of cargo, while its maximum weight should not exceed 6950 kg. The front wheels can be loaded up to 2350 kg, the rear wheels up to 4900 kg. The metal platform, which is equipped with an awning, has the following internal dimensions: length - 3.75 m, width - 2.215 m, height - 0.49 m. At a speed of 60 km/h, the Bychok truck consumes 100 km. 12 liters of diesel fuel. And up to this 60 km/h “Bychok” can accelerate in 30 seconds. The diesel engine is brand MMZ D-245.12.

There are several varieties of “Bull”, these include trucks equipped with a short, extended or double cab, which is designed for 7 people. On such a steer you can install sides with a capacity of up to 3, 2.9 and 2.7 tons. Bychok trucks are also produced as a van type and can be used as refrigerators or an isothermal van.

Since 1998, the production of “Bull” began, which has a solid metal van. In the city you can find specialized "Bull" trucks, such as dump trucks, tanks, tow trucks, fire trucks and even buses. A 3-axle “Bull” is also produced, with only the rear wheels remaining driving; there is also an all-wheel drive “Bull” with a 4x4 wheel arrangement.

Selection

What tire characteristics must be observed when choosing tires for trucks? To choose the right tires, you must follow the recommended size of ZIL tires, and during operation, strictly monitor the pressure indicator in ZIL tires. By following these two rules, the tires will last a long time without requiring replacement.

Rubber ZIL 130

Standard size

The size must be selected in accordance with the selected configuration and body. For certain conditions, the factory has selected special wheel sizes that ensure travel in certain conditions (off-road, etc.). You can find information in the vehicle's operating instructions.

User manual

For the most common models, the standard size is:

• ZIL-130 (4x2) – 9.00-20 (260-508);
• tire size ZIL-131 (6x6) – 12.00R20 (320R508);
• ZIL Bychok 5301 (4x2) – 225/75R16;
• ZIL-157 (6x6) – 12.00R18 (320R457);
• ZIL-4331 (4x2) – 9.00R20 (260R508).

Tire ZIL Bychok 5301

It is necessary to comply with the specified standard sizes so that the center of gravity does not shift and the tires do not wear out quickly.

Pressure

Another of the main indicators that must be observed during operation is pressure. The performance and softness of the suspension, tire service life and a number of other parameters depend on the pressure characteristics. It must be remembered that when the tires are fully loaded, it is necessary to inflate or deflate so that the machine does not sag under the load and “chew” the tire.

For popular models, the pressure should be:

• ZIL-130 – 4.5 front and 6.0 rear wheels;
• ZIL-131 – 3.0 for the front, 5.8 rear tires;
• ZIL Bychok 5301 – 4 atmospheres;
• ZIL-4331 – 6 atmospheres for all wheels;

Due to the age of the ZIL-157, the pressure is selected individually.

ZIL-5301: technical characteristics

The last mass-produced car of the Likhachev Plant

The colorful name of the car “Bychok” most likely arose as a kind of response to the “Gazelle” of the Gorky Automobile Plant. It more than successfully launched on the market several years earlier than ZIL-5301. Some attribute this name to the then mayor of Moscow Yuri Luzhkov. Which, as you know, was partial to the Likhachev Plant and actively contributed to the promotion of its products on the domestic market. Everything about the latest mass-produced ZIL car is in this publication.

By the way, the factory and industry index “5301”, which was very popular in the late 90s/early 2000s, received the Bychok car by mistake, through the light hand of a certain employee of the Ministry of Automobile and Tractor Industry. When issuing a certificate for the production of this model, the first digit was mixed up (according to the industry standard, there should have been a three).

This oversight was not immediately noticed. And when the error was discovered, it was too late: the name had already spread throughout the technological documentation. And the three-ton “Bull” began to “wear” an index corresponding to the heavy load-carrying class.

History of the ZIL-5301 “Bychok” model

Already in the early 90s, new economic realities did not at all contribute to the successful sales of outdated and “gluttonous” gasoline medium-duty ZIL trucks. Then the situation only worsened: the demand for these products rapidly collapsed, and the enterprise plunged into a protracted crisis.

Military and government orders dropped sharply, and agriculture, which was left without support, stopped purchasing new trucks altogether... Yesterday the markets of still friendly countries also turned out to be lost. At the same time, a whole new class of society grew and was replenished - small and medium-sized entrepreneurs interested in vehicles for transporting small consignments of goods on short hauls and in cities.

GAZ understood earlier what to do and launched into production light-duty Gazelle trucks and minibuses designed with Ford Transit in mind. Back in 1992, ZIL hastily developed a compact truck of a class higher than the Gazelle - the three-ton ZIL-5301 with a half-hood layout, but they were able to launch it into production only four years later.

The main reason for such a long gap was the lack of a suitable engine for the new model. In 1996, when “Bychok” was launched into production, the main owners of the Likhachev Plant were, as a result of “privatization according to Chubais,” the cooperative “Mikrodin”, which sells household appliances and electronics. We must pay tribute to its founders - Dmitry Zelenin and Alexander Efanov - they tried to carry out the difficult task of survival and development of the enterprise in a “free market”.

Airborne ZIL-5301 “Bull” in the courtyard of his native plant.

It was planned to develop several universal truck platforms and assemble vehicles on their basis for specific orders. The first-born, the “flagship” of this strategy and the main “breadwinner” of the plant for the coming years was to be “Bychok”. To launch it into production as quickly as possible, as a temporary measure, it was decided to equip the ZIL-5301 with a 4-cylinder tractor diesel engine from the Minsk Motor Plant: this engine had an automobile modification D-245 (power from 109 to 136 hp). Practice subsequently showed the truth of the saying: “There is no more permanent thing than a “temporary measure.”

The production record for "Bychkov" (22 thousand units per year) was set precisely during the management of the plant by entrepreneurs from "Mikrodin" (by the way, physicists by training). A few years later, Mikrodin, under pressure from capital officials, was forced to leave the enterprise, selling its shares to the city at a nominal price. The Moscow government accumulated over 68% of the shares of ZIL, which soon began to be jokingly called the “Luzhkov Plant.”

“Bulls” very actively and persistently began to be placed on the market as state and municipal orders; various companies closely associated with the capital's mayor's office. Together with substantial benefits and regular financial injections from the state budget, this made it possible to keep the enterprise afloat.

In 2011, it was announced that the production of Bychkov would be transferred to the Petrovsky Auto Parts Plant AMO ZIL CJSC (Saratov Region, Petrovsk); A ceremonial launch of the assembly line for ZIL-5301 vehicles was organized at this enterprise. However, already in 2014, the history of the production of the “Bychok” car was finally put to an end.

What is the reason for the decline of this promising model? In modernizations that were not carried out on time? In the low quality of car assembly? The fact that by its very location on hundreds of hectares of expensive Moscow land was doomed to destruction? Are you delaying the launch of more modern and competitive successors to the Bychka - ZIL-4362 and Tapir? And in this, and in the other, and in the third.

Further development of the “Bull” concept, unfortunately, has not become widespread. (4.5 ton “Tapir”).

Be that as it may, many more “Bulls” continue to work on the roads of the CIS. What are the technical features of these machines, and what do their past and current owners think about them - later in this article

Owner reviews about the ZIL-5301 “Bychok” car

Judging by numerous reviews, “Bychok” is generally a good car, subject to constant care and close attention to it. In this sense, ZIL-5301 is quite demanding. As one experienced “bull driver” put it, “if the owner himself drives the Bychka, then the car will make money, but if the driver drives it, then in a couple of months he will have to sell it.”

What none of the owners have any particular complaints about is the Minsk “Bychka” engine - reliable, high-torque, and economical in operation. With the carrying capacity, everything is more than normal: the car can easily “take on board” the “promised” three tons, and beyond this limit. A loaded ZIL-5301, according to the owners, “eats” about 20 liters of diesel fuel per 100 kilometers; empty - about 12. The transmission elements - the clutch and gearbox - also do not cause any problems during the entire period of operation, which are undoubtedly reliable and durable.

Cabin interior of ZIL-5301 “Bychok”.

The same cannot be said about the rear axle gearbox: it breaks, the greatest difficulties are caused by the differential side gears, crosspieces and satellites. The disadvantage that almost everyone talks about is the low quality of the metal. Unfortunately, the “Bychka” cabin quickly and uncontrollably corrodes and begins to “bloom” with rust already in the first years of operation. The cabin, however, is quite warm, spacious and comfortable. But it’s noisy, that’s a fact! Nothing yet for the end of the 20th century, but the noise and vibration protection of the driver’s workplace absolutely does not meet the standards of the 21st century.

Drivers like the ventilation hatch in the cabin, but it regularly leaks when it rains, and the high beams are ineffective. The engine compartment is cramped, not thought out, “you can’t get into anything.” It is felt that the D-245 engine was really considered as a “temporary measure”. Regarding the layout of other components, there are also rather politically incorrect statements from owners: “Whoever developed the rear brakes (fastening the pads and the handbrake) would have killed the reptile.”

Many owners call Bychok a “constructor for adults”: “As a result, after several years of working at Bychok, I became a top-class mechanic.” A lot of minor breakdowns and problems that arise regularly and periodically.

Anyone who is thinking about buying a used ZIL-5301 must have strong nerves, intelligence and “golden hands” (or urgently begin to “grow” them). However, all these troubles are compensated by the cheap price of the machine and its spare parts, its efficiency and profitability in operation.

Advantages and disadvantages

The clutch and gearbox cause virtually no problems and are perhaps the most reliable element. The rear axle gearbox breaks down much more often, where the greatest difficulties are caused by the differential side gears, crosspieces and satellites. The chassis also regularly causes inconvenience. Drivers are also advised to check the brake fluid level, since many modifications have reservoirs that leak and the protective covers installed on the brake calipers tear.

The interior of the cabin, as has already become clear, evokes conflicting emotions; on the one hand, the elements carry ergonomics, but on the other, their quality suffers greatly. One way or another, the simplicity of the design, reliability and maintainability made the ZIL-5301 “Bychok” a real people’s car.
