Not as fast as I'd like to, looks like we're going up about the 14th to try and get the brakes working.

Replaced all three air components last trip up. Also isolated what caused the big oil mess on the steering box, the control valve bolted to the back, with two Allen head bolts holding the top cover on. It's leaking from the cover.

We got the brakes working. Tried to figure out what the manufacturer was doing with components and hoses my ag mechanic friend said weren't needed, he called them fancy. After getting nowhere doing that all day yesterday without a manual, today we hooked up only the air hoses and components he said were needed.

I recognize this machine.

Ed I wish I could help you out more. I am not familiar with that machine but it looks like a good one. Once you get it figured out, you will love it.

A good machine is great to have around.

LOl

I drove forward enough where the ground is higher and picked it up without realizing it, I laughed when I walked around the front and saw it.

Thanks. This is a feel good milestone, still has transmission and steer leaks, but at least its mobile now. The property it's on is one big hillside, it was stuck where it was at until now. That's not where I'd prefer to work on it or store it at.

You've seen this same machine before?

It does seem to be a well engineered and built machine, just neglected for a long time. We are learning more and more about it each time we go up.
