The dust covers on my SEE were toast when I got it, and I believe this is a common condition. The cost of the dust covers is nominal, but to replace the ball joint is not cheap. The actual ball joints in my case are in great shape, but will not remain that way without fixing this. The problem...

Well since mine is the only SEE I have ever seen, I don't know for sure what is there and what is missing except by diagrams in the manuals. Looking at that diagram, it does not look like there is a spot to connect the line going to the back to charge the system. The high level diagram...

The good news is the mog is again building air pressure. The bad news is that other than replacing the head gasket on the compressor (which I am no longer confident was the issue), I changed nothing and I am confident that there are other issues. Perhaps it is just my reluctance for taking yes...

I have located a supplier in Germany that sells the full kit (head gasket, intake and output valve, plus a gasket that fits between piston liner and the block ( this last gasket is not part of the original kit but seems like a good addition). The costs are in Euro's but the kit it self is < 18...

Thanks Speedwoble, I think I have located the correct rod. I may have been able to find or have it manufactured cheaper but at least I am not going to have to ship a G33162 back.

OK, Still not convinced it is worth it personally because I don't own another vehicle that has air brakes, so probably not likely to get towed. As far as charging the system, If I put the female connector on in place of the factory one which is an idea I like I could do the same thing with a...

Thanks Joe I was intending to do something similar with some fine grit sand paper and steel wool. Since you have been through it, does the smaller thickness gasket go against the block?

Perhaps it is not that expensive or that much trouble, and if I did not have a viable alternative I might do that, but for sure it is more expensive and bother than tapping my old drain valve and screwing in a quick connect plug. The other consideration is that I am not sure how much is missing...

As an alternative, maybe I can just use the pressure regulator on the compressor to bring the pressure up in 20 PSI increments. rather than hit it with 100 PSI all at once. It does not seem like I will be going backward through the system for very many components, All the schematic shows up...

Seems like a lot of trouble / expense for no benefit. I have a different scheme for pressurizing the system to check for leaks that I will try after I get the pump back together. I bought a couple of the tank drain valves from EI a while back, because they were leaky. Not being one to throw...

I looked at the lines coming off the front glad hands and there is no line connecting the valve to the rest of the system. So the glad hand can't supply air to the system to diagnose a leak or blockage, but there is no blockage between the pump and the tank. So I think the pump is the most...

Yeah. I tried putting it on the front briefly, but heard no air movement through the system. When I tried to trace the lines at the front it looked like there was only a very small one leaving the valve. I will give it another shot. I currently have some lines disconnected back by the tanks so...

I am back to trying to sort out the air lines. I pressurizing the system through a glad hand connected to the right rear trailer glad hand, but the air only went as far as the the valve (TM P-1 page 0167 00-3, Item 21 -- N-20949-CA VALVE,BRAKE PNEUMAT 4/2 WAY). Is there some trick to get it to...

I would guess this is for our resident Case expert Speedwoble, but can anyone confirm if the rod for the bucket cylinder (part no G103351 from the TM... P2) is the same as part no G33162. I did a web search on the TM's part number and only out of stock on hits, but there is a lot of hits on the...

Thank you both. The brake pressure bleed system I made was similar to Alpine's. I bought 2 of the Benz caps and had a tee between them. After my experience with it I was not happy with my design which worked OK, but I was battling leaks both at the connections and at the caps. Speedwoble said on...

Thanks for the post on what your pressure bleeder looks like. I have looked at the hose end multiple times, and I can't quite figure out how it attaches to the bleed screw port on the master cylinder. Does it just slip onto the bleed screw? That would mean pretty low pressure. It looks like...

I don't think that you need to rinse it. The thing I would do differently next time is to just use air to blow out all of the old, before putting in the new. I think I wasted a lot of the good stuff trying to make sure I had gotten the old fluid completely out. The old fluid was really bad and...

The brakes have been working perfectly for the last year, because it sitting on jack stands, so it come to a complete stop every time I touch the breaks. ;) So Doctor James your Diagnosis was 100% correct. The problem was with the master cylinder. I was able to correct the problem with correct...

The master cilynder is a brand new after market one from EI. I guess it could be faulty. I can try to bleed the master cilynder again. I am a bit concerned about keeping the reservoirs full with gravity method but maybe I can make it work. How do you know when it is done? Sent from my...

Thanks LZahariev, The clutch seems better than ever. When I started there was no pressure at all on the brakes. Now it has good pressure when I first step on the pedal, but if I keep on the break pedal it gets increasingly softer and goes to the floor. On the CNC web site there were two...
