It has been a long time since I posted about the brake saga. I have been using one Friday Parts master cylinder along with one OEM master cylinder without the crossover pipe for months now with no issues. I suspect (but have not proven) the crossover pipe messes with the Friday Parts master...
Hopefully, this is the last installment of my brake saga. I hope it helps someone else someday.
As I mentioned in the last past, I have purchased three FridayParts master cylinders--one of the original two purchased (outboard location) still worked fine. The inner one would not hold...
Latest update to my brake saga.
My latest FridayParts master cylinder (on the left side brake) seemed to bind up near the end of the throw right out of the box. It worked for about six weeks and then it wouldn't hold pressure or allow me to bleed it anymore. Instead of pumping fluid to the...
I was wondering if there is air trapped in the crossover system that needs to be released. I didn't see any instructions for bleeding the crossover system and I thought I would see if anyone had advice before plugging the system. I am really curious to see if this is related to the aftermarket...
Reviving an old thread again, but I am having the same problem with my TN65. I had to replace a master cylinder last summer because it started leaking where the push rod entered the master cylinder (the tractor had not been used much over its life). I replaced the master cylinders with the...
Thank you for posting this. I bought a fairly pristine (580 hr) TN65 last summer--it's way too big for what I really need (my last tractor was 26 hp), but I love the power. The only thing I was sad about was the fact that both remotes are used for the loader. I would like to have at least one...
Just a post-change follow-up in case another inexperienced soul goes down this path in the future. The four plugs pictured above were correct. As TractorTech said, the rearmost two plugs (the big 27mm plug and the one under the PTO shaft) were responsible for almost all of the oil coming out...
If anyone has a good source for safety controllers at a reasonable price, I would like to hear about it. My father-in-law has a T1520 with under 400 hours that basically still looks new. It shuts down randomly and won't restart until you power it off for a while and/or disconnect the battery...
BTW, when I said the fluid is "clean and clear", I meant there was no discoloration, evidence of moisture, or evidence of being overheated. It basically looks like good hydraulic fluid. The previous owner stored the tractor in an insulated and heated pole barn, so is has not had a rough life.
Thanks for the replies. I have the operator's manual, but the drawings in the manual are not detailed and the first picture (Figure 46, page 3-23) doesn't look anything at all like the the two forward plugs. I also checked the service manual (I have the PDF), but I didn't see any more useful...
The first picture above is obviously the big 27mm drain. The next two are the ones I am not sure about--one is located on each segment of the transmission case. The one on the right is located at the rear under the PTO shaft--I believe it is correct. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
Hi, everyone! New member here. Forgive me if this has been addressed, but I couldn't find it by searching every term I could think of.
I bought a 2003 TN65 4WD open station tractor that only has 575 hours on it. The engine oil has been changed regularly and it appears that the hydraulic filter...
Reviving an old thread, but hopefully it will be helpful to someone. I bought a used low-hour TN65 this past summer and the inner master cylinder started leaking the first time I used the tractor heavily. The seal failed where the pushrod entered, probably because the tractor hasn't been used...
