    Case 885 Brakes

    Surely if it were a air issue I would have a soft spongy brake pedal, I've not got that I have a very firm pedal but a long travel but when it gets there it's firm

    I had one years ago with a similar problem, turned out to be the operator was adding Molyslip additive to the transmission as it had a noisy diff but it affected the brake grip badly just like this one but e can discount Molyslip because I have changed the oil so many times also new discs, but...

    They both lock when working them individually but you have to use considerable effort to do that, there is no leaks in the system because the pedals remain firm latched or unlatched, I notice the left pedal travels further than the right so I'm going to look at the adjustment set up at the...

    Case 885 Brakes
