pump mechanism is stuck. open the hatch, spray WD40 or MoS2 and pry it loose with a screwdriver.

Hi.just a quick update,got the tractor now started,tryed all the gears and all seems to be working fine.the rear brakes were stuck on tho>anyway managed to get one side released by going forward/backwards andthe other side is tight.can any one advise on how hard it is to do the brakes on these,also need to replace the brake cylinder as its rotten.
another question how to remove the steering wheel as i wont to start stripping and cleaning parts.
there also looks like a lot of play in the steering box whats this like to repair/service.sorry to rant on but any advise would be good.thanks jason

Hi,

I removed my steering wheel using a set of hydraulic bearing pullers. Remove the centre cap and you'll find a castle headed nut remove the split pin and nut. If you can get a set of pullers with a clamp attachment all the better, fit the attachment below the spokes of the steering wheel attach the pullers and anchor them on the centre on the steering shaft. Then start to tighten the pullers. Depending on the your tractor this might take a lot of pressure, if the pullers wont tighten anymore lift a hammer and tap the centre of the steering carefully!! you need enough force to shock the wheel into moving but not much that you damage it!

Good Luck!

Sean

Dont know if u have dealt with the brakes yet, yes u have to take off the half shaft housings and everything is inside at gearbox end. I bet the stuck brakes are rusted on handbrake bands. These are inside the housing as well, and if u run the tractor back and forwards it usually breaks off the stuck on pad from the steel band. Let me know if u still want advice and I will respond.

 

[sparkynp25]

great thanks for reply,we did drive forward and backwards and that released the one side and we undone the handbrake band to get the other side free.the tractor has been stood for 8/9 years so i want to replace all the brake bits and wheel cylinders,do you think we could tackle the job in our shed ha ha,any advise on doing the job and the pitfalls would be great.jason
