[minivinnie]

hi all,first post and all that.
my da has a 3365 newholland and the brakes arent working,im a mechanic by trade(motorcar) and ive bleed the brakes on several ocasions and they work fine but after a few months the resivoir goes empty and they have to be bleed again.Now i cant find any external leaks so im asuming its internal.is there an easy fix for this or does the tractor have to be split?
any advice would be great.
Thanks in advance

Pull the rear axle housings and replace the brake piston seals.

G'day make sure you use the right mineral brake oil in them too normal brake fluid will destroy the seals

G'day no pull the wheels off and unbolt the trumpet housings off the diff, look in behind the wheels and you should see where it is going to come apart
