New Holland 1215 No Brakes

[garybryan]

I have a New Holland 1215 HST that has no functional brakes. I know it has a wet type disc brake set up. The pedal adjustment seems to be in order, no free play and full travel. By free play I mean,
the play between pressing the pedal and the lever at the brake housing moving.

I see that both housings have a 1/2" square drive plug on the top. I assume these are fill holes, what type fluid and how much of it is needed?

Is there another adjustment other than the pedal rod to housing lever?

Thanks in advance for all your help.

Gary, welcome. Not so sure your brakes are wet. They may be dry disc in which case you don't want to put oil through the plugs. Besides, wet disc brakes have a long life unless severely abused. If linkage is working and adjusted correctly, you will have to pull the covers and investigate.
