Diagnosing a wet disk problem

[NorthernChilli]

Hi all,

Having got no answers on the Massey specific forum, I will post my question here since wet brakes are probably pretty similar wether the make of the tractor...

Anyone could share some ideas on how I could diagnose a brake problem on a MF 3060?

The left side brake works, but the right pedal has virtually zero resistance nor braking effect. The hose going from the cylinder to the rear differential housing do not show any evidence of leaks.

From what I can tell from the diagrams, it's a wet disk system, the brake pedals pistons are connected together near the pedals and the second output of each cylinder goes right to each side of the rear diff block near the wheel axles.

What should I check, and what could cause the non-braking in one of the two brakes? Blown brake cylinder? Faulty brake o-ring somewhere in the differential casting? Air in the hose ?

Thanks a bunch,

Phil
