We can talk about the legendary ZIL 130th model for hours. It all started in the post-war years, when the Soviet Union needed equipment for agricultural needs. This Soviet, and later Russian car, replaced the old ZIL-164 model, which was initially produced as the ZIS-150. Before the model became what we know it to be, quite a few changes were made to it. Before the restructuring of the Stalin plant, the model was produced as the ZIS-125.
As a product of the Likhachev plant, it was produced from 1962 to 2010. Initially, assembly was carried out in Moscow, but in the 90s the facilities were moved to Novouralsk. There the car was produced under a different name, Amur. It is noteworthy that the ZIL-130 became the first truck of its kind to be painted white and blue. Before this, all ZILs were painted khaki, since they were created for military purposes. The entire ZIL model range.
Appearance
The foreshadowing versions of ZIL trucks were extremely unfinished and crude. The justification is compelling; a large amount of equipment was required to repair damage after the war. But in the end, already in 1956, prototypes were significantly more beautiful than their predecessors.
After a number of regular changes, which concerned both the restyling of the truck and the plant itself, the ZIL-130 was presented at the annual international fair in Leipzig, where it received a gold medal, and the engineers received many diplomas. Since that time, the “130” model began to gain unprecedented popularity.
The fact is that ZIL dump trucks had quite a lot of modifications. The most commonly used of these were semi-trailers and articulated dump trucks. The most significant modifications were made in 1966 and 1977. On the basis of the usual “one hundred and thirty”, fire engines and truck cranes, tank trucks and vans, flatbed vehicles and construction dump trucks were created.
The car is efficient even in cramped urban environments thanks to its turning radius of up to 7 meters. Having a carrying capacity of only 3 tons, the ZIL-130 itself weighs at least 4 tons. At the same time, it can be used to tow a trailer weighing no more than 8 tons. From the outside, the Russian truck looked very good for that time. The car was capable of attracting attention.
It was painted white and blue. Before the ZIL-130, all automobile enterprises worked only for the defense and army spectrum, based on this, the car had a protective paint. The hood was alligator style. ZIL received streamlined wings and a panoramic windshield. In addition, the cabin was equipped with a ventilation hatch and windows.
Body
The body was supplied with a folding tailgate and was considered a cargo-passenger one. The gratings located on the sides were equipped with benches that could be folded back. They could fit 16 people. There was also a bench that could be removed - it could seat 8 people.
The basic modification of the ZIL-130 includes an awning along with arches, which can be removed and installed at any time. The body design is also practical. The height of the floor of the cargo compartment of the ZIL-130 is similar to the height of the floor in railway cars. This fact greatly simplifies the loading and unloading process.
Additional equipment included blackout for military versions, canisters, an ax, and a shovel.
STORY
In the mid-1950s, the growth rate of industry and agriculture in the USSR accelerated noticeably. The ZIS 150, developed in the pre-war period, could no longer meet the increased needs due to the obsolescence of the design. ZIL 164, which appeared in 1957, became a temporary solution and did not completely solve the problem, since it was a deep modernization of the ZIS 150. The country needed a fundamentally new car. Product development took place in a short time; prototypes of the ZIL 130 appeared already in 1956. As a power plant, the 4-ton vehicle received a ZIL-120 unit, inherited from the previous model. This measure was temporary; soon an 8-cylinder 150-horsepower unit became the main engine. Testing and refinement of the model took 6 years; pilot batches of the ZIL 130 were released only in 1962. However, even after this, the car did not make it into the series; additional testing took another 2 years. Full production of the new model opened in October 1964.
The appearance of the ZIL 130 was a landmark event for the Soviet automobile industry. Domestic drivers received a model that surpassed all existing cars in terms of comfort. A 5-speed transmission with synchronizers for all gears (except first) and power steering significantly simplified control. The car started from a stop in second gear, and first gear was used only for steep climbs and off-road.
The design of the ZIL 130 was also innovative. The exterior of the truck was designed by Eric Szabo. The young specialist created a completely new image with stylish cabin contours, panoramic glass and an embossed radiator grille. The car received a hood layout in the American style. There was nothing like this among cargo models at that time.
The color of the car has also changed. If earlier cars were painted khaki for quick mobilization during the war, now sky blue has become the main color. The front of the ZIL 130 was made white. There were other colors (dark green, yellow), but it was sky blue that became the main one.
The model quickly gained consumer interest. In addition to beauty, the car had rich functionality and reliability. Before the overhaul, the ZIL 130 traveled 300,000 km, and its carrying capacity was 5 tons.
The successful design played a cruel joke on the car. For a long time since its appearance, there have been no changes in the design of the car. At the Likhachev plant they were engaged in the creation of cabover trucks, and practically no attention was paid to the modernization of the ZIL 130. Only in 1966 did the manufacturer think about improving the design of the model, which by that time was already seriously outdated. It was then that the first update of the series appeared. However, there were no major changes in the design of the model.
In 1978, production of the modernized ZIL 130-76 began, which differed in appearance from the original version in a modified “front end” (the headlights and sidelights were swapped).
In 1986, the series was updated again. The car was named ZIL 431410, but in terms of construction and design it turned out to be an almost complete copy of its predecessor. The main disadvantage of the car was the gasoline unit with low efficiency and environmental friendliness. The manufacturer developed the diesel engine independently, and the first ZIL 130 models with it appeared only in 1987. At the same time, most modifications continued to install the old gasoline engine.
Production of the series at the Likhachev plant was finally completed in 1994. The car was produced at the Ural Automotive Plant until 2010.
Cabin interior
The steering mechanism of the ZIL-130 was a screw with a special spherical nut plus a piston-rack. The hydraulic booster was built-in. The three-seater cabin is located immediately behind the engine. The seat is adjustable in length, height and backrest tilt. The main options in the cabin included a heater, a windshield wiper with two blades, and a glass washer. For the 60s, the cabin ergonomics are at the highest level. The instrument panel and functional instruments are located very conveniently for the driver.
The designers provided two ventilation hatches in the cabin roof. The radiator grille has become a memorable element. The cabin was made of solid metal and had three seats. The engineering staff did a great job, because the car was comfortable and was very different from many Soviet trucks. Drivers received improved conditions for performing their work.
It was much more comfortable to sit inside, because the changes also affected the width - it was increased by 1.2 meters when compared with the ZIL-164 model. Instruments and controls were optimally located in the spacious cabin. In addition, soft seats appeared - for the driver and for passengers (double). The driver's seat could now be adjusted in horizontal and vertical directions.
It was also possible to change the angle of the chair back and pillows. It was on the ZIL-130 that the hydraulic power steering wheel debuted. Thanks to this, not only the ease of driving the truck increased, but also its safety - if the front wheel broke, it was easier to keep the truck on the road.
Specifications
The ZIL-130 car was initially equipped with an eight-cylinder 4-stroke engine with a capacity of 148 horsepower (3000 rpm). The working volume reached 6 liters. The engine lubrication system was combined, with splash and pressure. The engine power supply system is forced, the cooling system is liquid.
The suspension was dependent, the frame consisted of steel spars with five cross members. Starter 1.5 hp turned on via a traction relay. Known to everyone, the ZIL-130 truck became a breakthrough in Soviet mechanical engineering. Along with it, three-seater cabins, a hydraulic power steering wheel, a gearbox that included helical gears and synchronizers, an engine pre-heater, glass washers and more appeared.
Power unit
ZIL-130 acquired a power unit, the design of which had much in common with the motor from the ZIL-111 modification. It was a V-shaped eight-cylinder engine, but with a smaller displacement, which was designed for 76 gasoline, which was already familiar at that time. The engine came with a 2-chamber K-88AE carburetor, with a falling flow, and a balanced float chamber. There was a rev limiter.
From the very beginning, an experimental type engine was proposed, which was carburetor and had a V-shaped cylinder arrangement. The volume was 5.2 liters. Such an engine was capable of developing up to 135 horsepower and 3200 rpm. The camber of the cylinder block was 90 degrees. However, during the debut tests it became clear that such power would not be enough and the ZIL-130 truck simply would not be able to achieve good dynamics.
Then work began on using 8 cylinders in the same V-shape. Such improvements made it possible to increase engine power to 150 horses. It was then that the decision was made to curtail the production of 6-cylinder units. The new engine allowed the car to reach speeds of up to 90 km/h. The valve position on this 4-stroke engine was at the top. The engine capacity was 6.0 liters and 3,000 rpm.
In 1974, it was decided to use a more economical engine type for some models. Thanks to this replacement, the truck's efficiency also increased. This unit was a ZIL-157 with 6 cylinders arranged in a row, the power was 110 horsepower. The engine continued to be powered by A-72 gasoline.
The device used an economizer design and a mechanical pump for acceleration. It is equipped with a pneumatic crankshaft speed regulator, which is centrifugal. Engine lubrication is carried out in a combined cycle. In practice, this occurs using pressure, spraying oils. At the initial stage, this mechanism included a device for deep filtration. It looked like a set of thin plates made of steel. For enhanced purification, a jet-driven centrifuge was used.
The fuel pump provided forced fuel to the engine.
It was designed like the B-9 diaphragm with a single exhaust valve and a pair of intake valves. The crankcase blower function is of a closed type. 2-stage air purification is carried out using a VM-16 filter. This engine was quite gluttonous - for a hundred it could eat from 30 - 40 liters. It is clear that at that time this was not a problem, since fuel cost a penny. But today, many truck owners have had to redesign their vehicles in order to reduce operating costs. A full 170-liter tank was only enough for 445 kilometers. Technical characteristics of diesel variations of ZIL

By the end of the 1980s, it became clear that it was extremely irrational for trucks to drive on gasoline. In order to switch the ZIL to cheaper fuel, all efforts were devoted to a new modernization of the engine. But unfortunately, it did not go further than testing and prototypes.
Gearbox and clutch
The car has a rear-wheel drive axle, uses a dry clutch with a single disc and a mechanical five-speed gearbox with a pair of synchronizers (in 2nd and 3rd and 4th and fifth gears) with constant gear mesh, except for 1st and reverse. This unit was new in the automotive industry and has undergone improvements.
The gearbox transmits torque from the engine to the rear axle using a driveshaft. The standard 130 and the extended one had two shafts with an intermediate support, which was attached to the frame. And the model with a short base was supplied with a single shaft that did not require an intermediate support.
The mechanical gearbox was designed in 1961. Already 6 years later, in 1967, the gearbox structure underwent minor changes - it was expected and it happened, the appearance of a front bearing for the driven shaft, the shaft journal changed its design. Instead of a needle type bearing, a separator was installed.
The restyled box did not have a retaining ring. In order to avoid water getting into the gearbox when the car is wading or during heavy rainfall, the gear shift knob has become insulated with a rubber seal, the shape of which resembles a cover and a clamp.
And a special paste allowed manufacturers to protect the gearbox and hatch covers, the surface of the oil sump and other parts of the device. Everything inside is ventilated using a ventilation tube. The box housing itself was made of the best cast iron, which significantly increased its service life. Hydraulic shock absorbers are used on the front axle, and telescopic shock absorbers on the rear axle.
Brake system
The ZIL-130 truck is equipped with drum-type brakes on all wheels. They operate under the influence of a pneumatic system. The air reserve is stored in a specialized tank under the pressure provided by a mechanical compressor.
It is brought into its operating position by the belt drive water pump pulley. The operation of a 2-cylinder compressor is 2000 rpm, which is 220 liters per minute. It is liquid cooled. The number of air cylinders is 2 pieces, 20 liters each. The parking brake also uses a drum that blocks the driveshaft.
Electrical system
The voltage of the electrical system is 12 volts. Power is supplied from a 6ST-90-EM battery. The number 90 in the name indicates the amount of AmCh. There were two types of generators: the most common 32.3701 (also found on trucks from other manufacturers, for example, KamAZ), provides a current of 60 amperes; for ZIL-157D the package included G108-V with a power of 60A.
The voltage regulator is PP350-A (3702), non-contact, semiconductor. The starter is ST130-AZ, found not only in ZIL products. Ignition distributor - R-137, with automatic ignition timing control through centrifugal vacuum regulators. Ignition coil – B114-B. Spark plugs – A11 with M14*12.5 thread.
Dimensions
The dimensions of the ZIL-130 are as follows: length – 6,672 mm, width – 2,500 mm, height – 2,400 mm. Ground clearance – 275 mm. Wheelbase – 3,800 mm. Rear track – 1,790 mm. Front track – 1,800 mm. The minimum turning radius is 8,900 mm. The body platform is 5.10 cubic meters in volume. The floor area is 8.72 square meters. Platform dimensions: width – 2,326 mm; length – 3,752 mm; height – 575 mm.
Device
The ZIL 310 series was distinguished by a simple design - its engine was four-stroke, and the front suspension used 2 semi-elliptical springs with shock absorbers and sliding rear ends. Rear suspension with similar ends, but on 2 main and 2 auxiliary semi-elliptical springs.
The axle is rear-wheel drive, the clutch is dry. Mechanical single-disc transmission, two synchronizers and a 5-speed gearbox. It’s impossible to think of anything simpler, but for dump trucks of that time the design was revolutionary. During operation, the unit was modified several times. 2 standard modification shafts were mounted on the frame. Trucks with a short wheelbase were equipped with a single shaft. After restyling the gearbox, the retaining ring was removed and the shift knob was insulated with rubber.
The drum brakes operated under the influence of a pneumatic system. It was a reservoir with high pressure. For the parking brake, a drum-type driveshaft lock was used.

Options and prices
Most car enthusiasts buy these trucks and turn them into masterpieces. On the Internet you can find many photographs of ZIL after its upgrade. You can buy a real Russian truck for a very modest price - from 35 to 50,000 Russian rubles.
It is clear that their general and technical condition is not ideal, but it is quite easy to purchase the necessary spare parts for the car. Those cars that have been preserved in good condition are sold a little more expensive, the cost can reach up to 380,000 rubles.
Options
On the platform of the ZIL-130 truck, the automobile plant produced cars:
- ZIL-130G - was produced for the transportation of various large cargo and low-density elements, as well as for towing a trailer, the total weight category of which does not exceed 8 tons. The vehicle itself is capable of transporting up to 6 tons of cargo (wheelbase 4,500 mm);
- ZIL-130V1 is a truck-type tractor designed for towing various semi-trailers, the total weight of which (this also includes the weight of the semi-trailer) is no more than 14.4 tons on hard road surfaces (wheelbase 3,300 mm);
- ZIL-130D1 – platform for building the ZIL-MMZ-4502 and ZIL-MMZ-555 dump truck; coped well with transporting trailers;
- ZIL-130D2 – a platform with a pneumatic outlet and a towing device, which is intended for the construction of a dump truck-tractor ZIL-MMZ-45022;
- ZIL-130B2 is also a platform with a pneumatic outlet, only for a trailer and a towing device, which was intended for the construction of a ZIL-MMZ-554M dump truck tractor for agriculture.
Apart from those that were not mentioned, the production could produce complete sets of machines that were intended for operation in different climates. Any similar model of the 130th has its own letter or digital code. The operating time of the machine and its reliability, as well as economic indicators, largely depend on the grinding of parts during the first time of operation.
Initially, the plant planned to produce the following standard models:
- ZIL-130A was a release of an onboard tractor for full operation with a trailer, the total weight of which was 8 tons. It is equipped with a combination brake valve, towing device and pneumatic and electrical connections for connecting the brake system and electrical devices of the trailer;
- ZIL-130G – long-wheelbase platform truck with 2 sectional side walls (wheelbase 4,500 mm);
- ZIL-130V – truck-type tractor with a short wheelbase (3,300 mm);
- ZIL-130VT is a truck-type tractor with a short wheelbase (33 cm) and a stronger rear axle;
- ZIL-130D – platform for a construction dump truck with a short wheelbase (33 cm);
- ZIL-130B is a platform for an agricultural dump truck with a wheelbase of 3,800 mm.
- ZIL-MMZ-555 – dump truck with rear loading. Built on the basis of ZIL-130D1. Due to the shortened wheelbase, the truck has good maneuverability.
When trucks were produced, a couple of significant modernizations of the ZIL-130 division were carried out in 1966 and 1977. Following the latter, the radiator grille was changed. At the request of the customer, it was possible to install a foreign-made motor in various modifications:
- Perkins345, 140 hp.
- Valmet 411BS, has 4 cylinders and operates with a power of 125 hp
- Leyland400, the presence of 6 cylinders and diesel fuel provide a power of 135 horses.
It is also possible to install a third non-driving axle to increase the load capacity. These frauds were carried out by subsidiaries outside the plant.
Engine cooling system
Engine cooling system, liquid closed type, with forced circulation of coolant.
For normal engine operation, the coolant temperature must be maintained within 75...95 degrees.
In a warmed-up engine, coolant is sucked from the radiator into the liquid pump and, under a certain pressure, through two pipes of the pump is supplied to the left and right cylinder blocks and, passing through the windows in the inter-cylinder partitions, cools the cylinder liners.
cooling system
ZIL-130 ENGINE LUBRICATION SYSTEM
The lubrication system (Fig. 3.5) includes: oil filler neck, oil pan, oil pump with oil receiver. filters, oil cooler, lines, channels, oil dipstick and crankcase ventilation system.
The engines under study use a combined lubrication system, in which the most loaded parts are lubricated under pressure, and the rest by splashing and gravity flow.
Oil from the oil sump is sucked in by the oil pump through the oil receiver and flows from the discharge section of the pump into the oil filter and then through the main oil line to the crankshaft and camshaft bearings. Then it is supplied through channels in the block and cylinder heads to the rocker arm axles, rocker arms and to the compressor (in ZIL-130 and -645 engines).
The crankshaft main and connecting rod bearings, camshaft journals, valve axles and rocker arms, ignition distributor and oil pump compressor drive shafts are lubricated under pressure.
The cylinder bore and piston pins are splash lubricated. Camshaft gears, valve stems, lifters and camshaft lobes are gravity lubricated.
To maintain oil pressure within specified limits, the lubrication system is equipped with safety and bypass valves.
ENGINE POWER SYSTEM
The Engine power system includes instruments and devices designed to store reserves, supply and purify fuel, purify air, prepare a combustible mixture of the required composition and remove combustion products. The power system (Fig. 441) of a carburetor engine includes: carburetor, fuel tank, fuel filters, fuel pump, fuel lines, air cleaner, intake and exhaust pipes, muffler.
The 3M3-53-11 and ZIL-130 engines are equipped with two-chamber carburetors K-126B and K-88AM, respectively.

TRANSMISSION
The clutch (Fig. 7.1, a) on the cars under study is frictional, single-disk, located in a casing 12 attached to the flywheel 3, which serves as the clutch drive disc. Inside the casing there are the following parts: driven disk 4, pressure disk 5, which is connected to the casing using protrusions on the disk (for the GAZ-5342 car) or spring plates (for the ZIL-431410 and ZIL-645 cars), ensuring axial movement of the disk relative to clutch release housing; clutch release levers 6, pivotally mounted on needle bearings. The driven steel disk 4 with friction linings attached to it is connected through a torsional vibration damper to a hub 7 mounted on the splines of the drive shaft of the gearbox. The torsional vibration damper ensures smooth engagement of the clutch and rapid damping of torsional vibrations due to the elasticity of the springs 10 and the friction between the damper discs 9 and driven disk.
BRAKE CONTROL
ZIL vehicles use a braking system with a pneumatic drive (Fig. 10.5), which includes wheel brake mechanisms and pneumatic drive circuits for the working, parking and spare brake systems. The brake system of the ZIL-4331 vehicle, in addition, includes a brake mechanism and a pneumatic drive circuit for the auxiliary brake system (engine brake).
The brake mechanisms (Fig. 10.6) of the service brake system are installed on all wheels. The brake mechanisms of the rear wheels are common to the service, parking and spare brake systems.
The brake mechanisms are installed on calipers, which are attached to the flanges of the front axle axles with bolts, and to the flanges of the rear axle housing with rivets. Brake pads 2 with friction linings are installed on the eccentric axles fixed in the caliper. The axles 8 of the pads have eccentric supporting surfaces, allowing them to be correctly centered with the brake drum 7. When braking, the pads are moved apart by an expanding fist 4, and when released, they are tightened by springs.
Shaft 15 of the expansion fist (Fig. 10.7) rotates in a bracket bolted to the caliper. At the splined end of the shaft there is an adjusting lever with a worm gear 16 and a worm 14 located inside it, secured by a lock 17. The adjusting lever is connected to a membrane 3, installed between the body and the brake chamber cover, using a fork 11 with a pin 12 and a rod, and ensures a reduction in gaps between the brake pads and the drum, increasing as a result of wear of the friction linings.

CABIN ZIL-130
The cabin of ZIL-433360 vehicles is all-metal, three-seater, with a whole panoramic non-opening glass wind window of the “Triplex” type.
The cabin doors have sliding glass and rotating window windows. Raising the door windows and securely fixing them in the raised position is carried out by single-lever window lifters.
The cabin doors, left and right, have locks that can be opened from the outside with a key, & from the inside with a handle. The lock stopper in the down position prevents the doors from opening from the outside.
To open the rotary window of the door, you need to turn the locking handle by first pressing its button. Electric cab windshield wiper. The driver's seat is equipped with a suspension mechanism with adjustable stiffness depending on the weight; before sitting on the seat, the driver must turn knob 2 to set pointer 3 against the number on the scale corresponding to the driver's weight. The suspension can be locked, while the seat is fixed in a single (height) position.
The adjustment provides several fixed positions of the backrest and seat cushion. Types of adjustments are shown in Fig. 6. The cabin heater is designed to supply warm air into the cabin and heat the windshield glass in case it freezes. The tail of the car is of an integral type, folds to the front.

Where can I buy
The Moscow plant went bankrupt in 2013, but many advertisements for the sale of trucks, including those with low mileage, are still published on the Internet. Morally outdated models are not becoming less in demand. The legend of the Soviet automobile industry won recognition throughout the country.
The price of truck tractors depends on the specific model, its purpose and the year of manufacture of the vehicle. So, on the Internet you can buy a ZIL truck tractor from 70 thousand rubles to 1.5 million per car.
By the way, the last car was produced by assembly line in 2013, the batch consisted of 95 copies. Then the company went bankrupt and closed.
Competition with KamAZ and MAZ did not break the leadership position of the I. A. Likhachev plant even in the most difficult times and allowed it to sell a significant number of cars every year. The cars have been actively operating to this day for over 20 years.
Let's sum it up
Over more than 40 years of history, the vehicle has established itself as a fairly durable and reliable truck, which is unpretentious in operation and easy to repair. The universally recognizable ZIL-130 or AMUR-53131 can still be found on Russian roads. A large number of modifications made it popular in many fields from agricultural to military. One gets the impression that he will be driving along them for decades to come.
