Are the brakes on a 7040 manual or hyd?
I made a deal to buy a used M7040 from a tractor dealer. Dealer is located about a 3hr drive from me and I'm disabled and don't care to ride in an automobile that far so I was going off of salesman's information. Tractor only had 777 hrs on tach and from photos & description looked very good. We agreed on a price and it was delivered. It looked as nice in person as in photos. I got in it cranked it up and drove a little way in 4th gear and tried to stop but the brake pedal went nearly to the floor and tractor slowly stopped. Air conditioner didn't work at all not even the blower. I got out and went to rear to check hyd oil but none was on the stick. I called the salesman and this what he stated "If you don't want the tractor tell my driver to load it on the trailer and bring it back. I can sell for it more than we agreed on to someone else". Long story/short story I didn't buy it.
