Hello all,
Ive had such great help from everyone on here so I thought Id give it another try. I just purchased a 1998 New Holland 8360 and got one heck of a deal on it. Everything works great except one thing, the brakes. For some reason, the reservoir is completely empty. So I went to the dealership and bought 3 quarts of mineral oil hydraulic brake fluid. I started with the left rear brake. It bled out fine and took hold. However the right brake is another story. I bled through 1 1/2 quarts of fluid and it started to spit some fluid but never changed. Here's the weird part....I kept filling and filling the reservoir with no result, then when I stopped, I could see the reservoir drain without even touching anything....Ive never seen anything like it. The service dept said that it was a 3 quart system, but before I break open another $26 quart of fluid, I thought Id try here. Has anyone ever experienced this? My only guesses at this point is that its filling the system up, or I have a bad brake cylinder on the right side. Please, if anyone can offer any assistance, I would be very grateful. Thank you in advance.
