Hello All,
I have a 89 case 580k and all of a sudden, I have brake issues.
Last year I adjusted the brakes using the cylinders on top of the transaxle so that each peddle had about 1.5-2"" of play at the top. Everything seemed to be fine and I probably put about 100 hours on it before winter. This spring when I went to use the machine the first time I pushed the brakes they never released after letting off the peddle. I lifted the back end off the ground and readjusted the cylinders on top of the transaxle so the tires would turn freely. Still of the ground I then put it in gear at an idle, the tires turned slowly. I then pushed the braked peddle down to stop the tires. The peddle went down about 3"-4" the tires stopped, and when I let off they were still stopped. I pushed the peddle down again and it only goes down now maybe 1.5"- 2" from the top. I repeated the process and the same thing happened. It is like the pressure from the brake fluid is never released after letting off the brakes. The fluid in the rear end is full.
Any suggestions anyone has would be great as I'm stumped!
