Hi again all, since my last post, I have bypassed the equaliser valve on the advice of the knowledgable Bernard le mecano. Only different thing I did was rather than just replace the tee's for elbows, I made an equaliser manifold in the lathe so that the brakes are permanently equalised (as I have the pedals bolted together due to a worn pedal shaft and I figured that if the brakes were unequally worn I would get unbalanced braking without equalising the pressure in each service). Apart from a small leak on one pipe, I thought this would do the trick. However, after bleeding the brakes all was good, engine stopped for about 30 mins & still good, engine off & pedal remaining hard, left overnight and back to soft peal and pumping the brakes again!!!!!. I just don't know where to next, should I replace the seals in the master cylinders? even though there appears to be no leaks. I still don't think it's the wheel cylinder seals as when they work, they are perfect until the engine is stopped, if the wheel cylinder o rings were rolling, surely they would do this whether or not the engine was running?? It seems to be something that is affected on the engine start up, as sometimes I start up and all is well, other times it's not, I'm on the point of giving up!!! Please help..

The General GG was made by the Cleveland Tractor Company (Cletrac) of Cleveland, Ohio. Originally the company was called the Cleveland Motor Plow Company which began in 1912, then the Cleveland Tractor Company (1917) and finally Cletrac.
