Engine went out of Deere 1050C dozer. Manual park brake release under cab fails to work. Hand pump builds pressure but won't let dozer roll. We have procedure print off from deere service and have followed every step with no luck. Anyone have experience with this? Any other way to manually release brake?

Hook hand pump directly into brake release ports. Only needs about 400psi.

Sounds like it would be easy to use a porta-power pump if the other pump is not working for some reason. Just be careful if using one of those as they can produce 10,000 psi!
