Brake bleed screws on TM130

[Farmer Fin]

Can anyone show me some pictures of where the bleed screws are for the brakes on a NH TM130? Had a good look but can’t identify them. Thanks.

No1 with no 8 rubber cap on top.Right in the middle of where the trumpet/brake housing meets the centre housing.

You can generally bleed them from the block under the right hand side of the cab with the arms lowered, big bleed screw fist with both peadels then either side for individual peadels.

Thanks for this. Will have an investigate tomorrow.

Where is that screw?

 

[fieldfarmer]

Have you looked for it?

Don't forget the trailer brake valve bleeders too...

Had a look early today and struggled to work it out. I’m back home now. I’m not the most mechanically minded.

Then I would advise getting someone to do it or show you, brakes aren't exactly trail and error.

I’ve hear what you are saying. I have bled brakes before. Slacken screw and keeping pumping the breaks till the pressure comes back in them and no air. It’s just working out which screws and where that’s my issue.

If nobody else comes up I will post a photo tomorrow, feel free to remind me in the morning.

And remember that NHs run on LHM not brake fluid. Incidentally, why do they need bleeding? You should only need to bleed brakes after a repair or repairing a leak.

It’s a spare tractor that we rarely use and only comes out at harvest to move the header trolly. I jumped in it today and the breaks were crap. No fluid so filled it up with LHM fluid as you say. Still no breaks and fluid has not moved. Need to bleed them to see if that works. If not then their is a bigger issue somewhere and a mechanic will be called.

I’d love a 130 as a spare tractor!!! You have a leak somewhere then. Most probably piston seals. top of trumpet just under hydraulic cross shaft will have brake line coming in towards the front with another pipe exiting about an inch and a half back, follow that pipe to the bleed screw. As said do the trailer brake valve aswell. A 130 could have the nipple on the trumpet on one side due IIRC to only one assistor ram
