7711 brakes

7711 brakes. I mentioned in my last post about the farm expo that my 7711 had brake problems. Well, yesterday they got worse. The left brake pedal went to the floor and this morning I added fluid. I did not bleed the brakes, but now the right pedal goes to the floor and I have no foot brakes at all. I guess I will have to send the tractor to the dealer.

To Johnnybegood42: Thanks for your reply to my email. I am glad if it helped you. About your concerns about oil, I use 15w-40 crankcase oil rated for diesels. The transmission oil is 80-90 gear oil. The engine oil filter is a centrifugal type that you take off and clean out, then reinstall. Very neat engineering!
I still can't find a 6711 listed for U. S. models.

You clutch master cylinders are probably shot. Dont go with new pistons, take whole new cylinders (70 Euro each) because the original liners were too weak, a new piston doesn't cure the problem for long.

Thanks for advice on brakes. Operating a tractor with hand brakes is tiresome as well as unsafe and I plan to fix it before the end of the year.
