HOW DO YOU BLEED BRAKES ON A CASE IH 485

Hi, 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 and if bleeding only
lasts a few days then repost and I will give a
procedure to diagnose if it is leaking seals in
brake piston.
