    Nige Torn the machine down and found the brake discs were fried. Had to get the new ones from out of the county. Got everything back together except for installing the brake pedal switch. Part of it was found missing. What should the actuating pressure be for the brakes? Mine shows around...

    Forgot to mention that I am testing the pressure at the test point at the tow valve with the tow valve closed (in the normal position).

    I will get another gauge on Monday to verify the pressure. I am not confident in the accuracy of the gauge I have. The shop manual is a help but leaves a lot to be desired. Where is the brake low pressure sensor located? I can't find it.

    Replaced the safety interlock switch on the master clutch lever and the brake light went out for a few minutes. Now the brake light is bright until the interlock switch is activated then dims some. Checked the brake pressure at the tow valve and it was somewhere around 350 to 400 lbs (not a...

    D3C LGP Hydrastat

    Trouble shot the electrical and found the interlock switch on the joy stick inoperative. Once we bypassed the switch with the tractor running the parking brake like goes off and we felt the hydraulic solenoid next to the towing valve actuate. Could I be so lucky? Have a new switch on order and...

    The dealership said they checked the pressures to determine it was the brake assemble itself. Sure hope they did

    D3C LGP Hydrastat

    I have a D3C LGP Hydrastat that some time ago started to apply the brake on one side or the other by itself. Took it the the local Cat dealer and for a cool $1,100 they diagnosed that the parking break assemblies need to be replaced to the tune of over $13,000. Now the tractor will not move...
