Ran my tractor today and all of the sudden no left brake. Pedal goes to floor with no resistance. WTH?
I haven’t had this problem but if I was you and there’s a second person available I would do the following. Secure the tractor from rolling, with engine off, have the second person operate the brake pedals while you lay underneath and observe the linkage. If both right and left appear to function the same then you’re probably in for some more serious disassembly.Anyone else had this problem? I could understand if I was using it and it stopped working,but hasn't been used in 3 months and now this. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Did that yesterday and the right brake linkage and left linkage function the same. The right brake is working but not left brake. I was afraid it is going to be more extensive than I thought. Thanks for your replyI haven’t had this problem but if I was you and there’s a second person available I would do the following.

That is correct about linkage. Just don't understand how it was working when i unloaded it from trailer, parked for 5 months and now left brake doesn't work. Might be better to sell at a very discounted price and look for another tractor. Thanks for the infoSorry, got late on me yesterday and didn't respond earlier. So, just to be clear, all the linkages for the left brake are moving nice and free from the left brake pedal up to the arm that then enters into the rear end housing, right?
Took some screenshots of the Michigan Iron parts website. Hopefully it helps a little bit diagnosing this issue.
If the linkage is all moving all the way from the pedals to the arm #11 on the 4th picture, then the issue may be internal and a lot more expensive.
