| 1253051 | 2012-01-09 04:53:00 | Havent had much to do with modern tractors, but worked on a Case tractor today, the cocky said it had no brakes and was leaking oil. Fixed the rusted through brake line by joining a new section of tube with compression fittings, not the the type of repair you would do for a road going vehicle. The CVIU would have your ass if it failed, fine for a tractor you could always drop the front end loader bucket as an emergency brake! Cocky had some brake fluid like the stuff you would put in an car and said use this. Strange as the clutch had its own reservoir with a cap and used brake fluid but couldn't find the cap for the brake reservoir, could see the reservoir though. There was a hose coming from the reservoir followed it to a tee in the transmission oil cooler line, yep the reservoir was sealed. WTF looked at the oil on the ground its that multi purpose trans/engine oil. Ok so when the engine started the reservoir filled up, went to the 2 bleed nipples on the rear transfer case and they self bleed without even pushing the brake pedals down (2 master cylinders 1 for each side) and woo hoo the pedal is hard as a rock. Went for a test hoon and both wheels locked up. No wonder we got people on the moon, there some imaginative engineering designers out there. |

| 1253056 | 2012-01-09 07:22:00 | Wish the morris had brakes :pWell, seal the brake reservoir, put a tee connection thingy in the oil pressure line bit thingy, connect a pipe from it to the valve in your brake reservoir thingy and what do ya know? You have a Morry-Case car-tractor thingy. Oh, and you need some big tready tyres on the back and about 300hp - no good having the whoo if it hasnt got the go :p | Iantech (16386) | ||
| 1253057 | 2012-01-09 07:36:00 | Don't forget the to mount the bucket as an emergency brake. | Metla (12) | ||
| 1253058 | 2012-01-09 08:39:00 | Wish the morris had brakes :p Take out all 27 brass screws (from distant past memories) that hold the floor panel in place and just do a Fred Flintstone method of stopping. Ken :cool: |
