I'm still running this vintage truck on my farm, I've three right now, all from down south to have decent sheet metal. I've been running these, diesel and 460 since 1989. Looking back thru my notes I had this issue of sinking pedal, 3 different times. All 3 were due to pin holes in my steel brake lines. 2 were in the left rear, where the steel lines run along the frame. Farm in on gravel, 10 miles to pavement, so between mud stuck up there and normal winter salt usage in MN, they lay buried. The 3rd was a pin hole in the steel line in the RF where it joins with the flex line. I was using a bit of brake fluid over time but attributed it to the vacuum part of the power brake system. These were true pin holes and under light, or normal braking, the only sensation was a mushy pedal. I had a issue one time where I had to stop quick, pulling a loaded trailer. Mashed on the pedal and blew the line and found the problem. Luckily, for me, the ditch was open and I avoided a rear ender, I had enough momentum to drive out of the ditch.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
