All is ok and the tractor is still intact but I had to use the fire extinguisher on the break box.
I could smell it and I was afraid it was the bailer. I spent about 3 minuets checking the bailer and when I returned to the cab the console looked like a smoking toaster full of burning toast.
The rubber cap on top of the break assembly was smoldering. Since I was sitting over a windrow and the smoke was getting thicker I decided to hose it down with the water type extinguisher on the bailer. There was a lot of steam. That break box was very hot.
When I hit the break petal there is a cloud of hydrolic fluid that travels all the way to the front tire. I am not sure where is is coming from yet. Also, the break is still locked up but I was able to limp it back to the shop.
Any way I put the wife's pet tractor on the bailer again which is very humbling since I am not out of the dog house for my last dumb stunt.
What is the best way to get into this break box and figure out how to fix it?
