Hi All-
I tried to tag this question onto this thread, but it appears to be closed:

What is covered there make sense, problem is, I do not know where the bleed screws are. Can anyone offer more detail?
Thanks,
wam

They are on top "trumpet" of the rear axles sticking out, facing each wheel, under the fuel tank. You can see them if you are standing behind the tractor and looking up under where the fuel lines come out of the fuel tank on each side.

Thanks, 495man. I'm honing in on them. Are they small (1/4") nipple looking things? I assume that is where the clear tube leading back to the tank is to be placed.

Nope, I got those cleaned off and they are just grease fittings. I don't see anything else up under there that looks like I can put a small tube on it.

This is an older 784... '78-'82 or so

Hi, the things that look like grease zerks are the bleeder screws. Yes that is where the tubing goes.

Thanks, I'm on it now. No fluid will come out of them till the brakes are applied, that threw me off for a bit.

Normally if the engine is running about 1500 RPM and hydraulic oil is up to temp, oil/air will flow out without pumping the brake pedal. Do one side at a time just like a car.

Thanks, Jim-
You guys were quite helpful. I had success in getting the left side up to pressure, but I can't get any pressure on the right side. Any thoughts? Do I need to go on the look for a cracked seal or ring, master cylinder?
Thanks again,
wam
