Got up this morning. Went out and checked the oil. Added a quart. Topped off the fuel. Checked the tires and started it up to warm while I had breakfast. Started right up. No noises other than those it"s supposed to make. Had a wonderful bacon and egg breakfast. Mounted tractor pressed on brake. OOPS. No break peddle. I then checked the steering and the wheel spins freely with no response of the front wheels. Pumped brakes a few times and they would get hard, then the next time no brakes. Steering wheel still spinning. Checked the hydraulic fluid and level was at the full mark. Decided to move the tractor out were I could get to it better. As I rolled out I noticed that I was getting intermittent jumps in the steering and it was now stiffer than old billy heqq, but the front wheels started turning a little. Decided to let it role in 1 low and just keep exercising it. After about six figure eights all of a sudden it was like air suddenly rushed out of the system and everything worked as normal. I am now in for lunch. Brakes and everything work like brand new. Any ideas on the whys and wherefores of this issue and have any of you had it before and was it self correcting? Has been fine for the last 5 hours in the field. Can"t duplicate it. Thanks for any input. LarryT
