Afternoon All,
I found out that my quic connect on my loader control was leaking . One day it gushed out all over my boot . After this i lost my brakes .
added more fluid everything else worked good .
now brakes are mushy and must pump to get to stop.
Can i bleed them to get better brakes and how do you bleed them???
Thanks
Harry
Ps went to local IH dealer and got o ring to fix
quic connect.
 
Hi Harry:
to bleed the brakes there is a bleeder screw on top of each rear axle, looks like a grease zerk.
Require clean bucket and 1/4 or 5/16 inch clear tubing that will fit over bleed screw nipple.
To bleed the brakes run the tractor until the Hytran hydraulic fluid reaches operating temperature.
Run engine at fast idle 1400-1600 RPM, block rear wheels.
1)With tubing connected to nipple on bleed screw and other end in clean bucket, loosen bleed screw and let hydraulic fluid drain until air bubble free, then close bleed screw. Repeat on other brake. Do not pump brakes while bleeding.
Top up hydraulic fluid with fluid caught in bucket, make sure transmission fluid level is full or over full. Also check for leaks by bottom of dash and along top of transmission cover. Brake lines run from under battery box along top of transmission to rear axles.
May have to repeat bleeding.
