I have worked on dozens and dozens of these trucks years ago,but we can't even get parts for them in my area. Finding the right booster is impossible, a master cylinder kit unavailable and most of those trucks have been cut up for scrap. But back when I was working on them on a regular basis. We did not have much luck bleeding them without a power bleeder. The combined volumes of the wheel cylinders and and the amount of fluid you can pump with one pump of the master cylinder makes it tough to get all the air out.Bleed the booster first, then the rears and then the fronts. Here's a quick test to try. Shut the engine off. Pump the brakes until all vacuum is gone. Pump the brakes until you have as close as you can get to a full pedal.Hold that and start the engine. You should feel the pedal drop when the vacuum comes on.If it doesn't you have a bad booster or no vacuum.You will also have this problem if the drums are badly worn. Even if the shoes are adjusted up, the pistons are so far out in the wheel cylinders you don't have enough volume of fluid to compress them all in one pump. Hopes this helps.

I was driving the 1948 8N Ford tractor that Jimmy bought in 48 new This was prebably in about 1951 and maybe even befor the house was built. This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit
