    Does the idle on my 580K sound rough?

    My brake master cylinder(s) started leaking right after I bought this hoe. At least one is leaking so would like to rebuild both. How hard are these to remove from the tractor? I would remove and rebuild them at my house 120 miles away where I have more tools and extra time.
