Hello everyone! This is a continuation from this thread: http://forums.yesterdaystractors.com/viewtopic.php?p=8020109#8020109
Long story short, my home built tractor's brakes don't work. I figured I needed to start by rebuilding the master cylinder. I sourced the parts, rebuilt the MC, and bled the brakes with the help of my neighbor. (He has a tool that sucks fluid out of the brake lines from the bleeder valve.)
Anyway, the piston inside the master cylinder keeps sticking. I cleaned and honed the cylinder, lubed the pieces from the rebuild kit before inserting them, and was careful to make sure everything went in correctly.
Any ideas why it might be sticking?
I appreciate any feedback I can get
