Well, at long last I have my own tractor and after doing a fair bit of travelling, found it ten minutes away from the yard!!

 

It's an International 475, starts well, hydraulics work and have good flow capacity, there is no oil in the water and no water in the oil, and tyres are fairly decent. As you can see it has the air conditioned cab!! Downside, brakes don't work and fair bit of rot around cab, but it is what it is, a decent, honest 40 year old tractor.

 

Its main use will be to run my Palax processor and to mount the winch on we use for forestry work.

Downside, brakes don't work

Standing at the back of the tractor look at where the axles come out of the main casing. On each side you should see a bleed nipple for the brakes.

Slacken one of them off with the engine on tickover and wait until fluid comes out. Nip it up and then do the other one.

Chances are your brakes will work again. :thumbup1:

 

If there is a lot of crap in that area it is no harm to take the nipple right out and clean it before starting the engine. From memory you will need the ring end of a 7/16" combination spanner. Don't use the wrong size, they round very easily!
