I have a 2955 with approx. 5000 hrs. Clutch was replaced less than 200 hours ago. I just replaced the clutch master cyl. due to the old one failing. Now I cant get all the air bled out.Any tricks to doing this? A I can get is about a half of a pedal.

Thanks in advance

Chris

what i do is take a clear plastic line hook it up to bottom bleed screw run it back up to the resvior then pump the clutch peddle...A lot of time the air bubble well be in the line from resivior to master cly. where it is lower then the master cly. also crack the line where it comes off the back of the master cly.

hello, these are not easy to bleed, however i have found, if you nose the tractor down hill quite often you can pump the pedal and it will come right up. if that don"t work we use a pump oil can filled with brake fluid, DOT 4, by the way, attach a clear piece of plastic tubing to oil can and bleeder screw, open screw and pump the fluid reverse flow into reservoir, works EVERY time. 40 yr.

What kind of brake fluid did you use in the clutch? If you use the wrong dot number, it is made of a different base fluid and will destroy the seals in the clutch master and slave cylinders. Can't remember which number it is without looking in the manual.

These are a pain in the butt to do. Do you have a vaccum pump for bleeding brakes, I have found that to be helpful. Also i have had a couple that i needed to adjust the linkage on the pedal to make sure all is correct due to wear. Do you have a tech manual? This is very important to have the correct adjustments for the clutch pedal rod and stop.

good luck
