In Reply to: bleeding brakes posted by Brenda on Wednesday, January 16, 2008:
Hi, typed up a reply and it disappeared so will try again. The brake system is called a keep fill system, in other words the tractor hydraulic system keeps the master cyl full at all times when engine is running, however they are not power brakes, the master cyl applies all pressure to brakes, to bleed them you need to find the hose coming from master cyl that is returning fluid to the reservoir and pinch that hose off to build some back pressure, run engine and open both bleeders on brakes , works best if you hook tubes to bleeders and return fluid to tractor reservoir , the fluid should slowly come through bleeders with out pushing pedals, shut off bleeders, remove pinch from hose and see if they work, if not you may have to do some more individual bleeding each one , again with engine running and hose pinched. There are small orfices and screens in the fittings to master cyl but doubt if that is a problem. Good luck Jim
