9600 Brakes Finally Fixed (I Think)

Tracy Brown · Aug 18, 2015

If you have read my past post, you know 1/2 of the story. My master cylinder was junk. CNH had a reman for $800. Couldn't stand that, found a new NAPA(M34404) match for $75. Problem fixed...I thought. The mineral oil brake fluid reqd did not set well with the rubber parts in my new M/C. Had to bite the bullet and buy the rebuild kit from CNH (got them down to $250), put those parts in my new NAPA M/C. I now have good brakes. I hope this is a long term fix. We'll see.

Too bad about the fluid, you have to watch that. But you still came out of it pretty good.

The kits are available aftermarket now for far less than the NH stealership.

I can't get the link to work but the master cylinder kit is $79.99 on ebay.

I'm all for saving money with quality aftermarket parts, I sell TISCO, A&I, Atlantic, Herschel, Sparex and probably some others. The only source I can readily find for that kit is Sparex.

And if that kit isn't any better than 75% of the parts I've gotten from Sparex to resell, It isn't worth getting involved with.

I spent quite a bit of effort at work to set up an account with Sparex and it had been disappointing as a whole. They have some good stuff, a fair amount of mediocre or less stuff, and poor customer service when product does not meet expectations.
