Case 885 Brakes

[Flat 10]

Oh and my assistor ram leaks. A competent person replaced the seals for me a couple of years ago but they are no better.... Are there 2 sorts of assistor rams or something. Thanks

I thought there was a more recent thread on this but I can't find it. IH 885xl 2wd brakes always worked really well. Now one pedal is completely spongy and whatever you do won't provide any braking. The other one will provide braking after pumping. Any thoughts please. Thanks

there is a pot in front of the cab (6x4x2 Inches maybe), white with 3 pipes coming in the bottom. This has oil coming in one pipe and flowing out to the others. If one pipe slips down, which they do, then the level is never high enough to charge the one that hasn’t slipped. Sounds complicated but it isn’t.
Check one pipe hasn’t slipped down. If it had then take the tank off and brake clean the hole and liquid metal the pipe back in the right place.

i had a thread recently...anyhoo you could just latch the brakes together .....not as if massive speed is going to be an issue

Fiddled with the reservoir and got it sorted thanks. Read manual and confused myself as to bleeding procedure so just cracked nipple and pumped brake a few times. Successful so far. Thanks everyone.

What did you do to the res?

Took it off and pulled all the metal tubes out as all at differing heights. I think the ones at either end go in flush but the ones in the middle should protrude about half inch as if pushed right in they hit the top of the reservoir.
