M110GX Brakes go out

[J Cook]

We have a 110 gx that the brakes started going out while baling hay. Went to local dealer and they told us how it worked, we told them we had recently flushed the hyd fluid and refilled it with new. Said it could have air in the lines to bleed it off and see if that worked. We did that today and brakes worked for a bit, but ended up doing it 3 more times through out the day. and had to double pump them each time to get them to grab. could it be the master cylinder going bad?

Then as i was leaving the field I noticed the front end of the loader had rolled forward, I hit the joystick to roll it back and once it was back i lost steering. Just to see if it was a fluke, I rolled it forward and then back again this time steering kicked out for 10+ seconds. could we still have air in the hydraulic system? Just replaced the hydraulic pumps on the 110x dont want to have to do this one as well.

Thanks.

Check the suction lines to the pump, as it sounds like your sucking air into the system.

We keep getting milky fluid. Just switched it out the other day. as we had just put new in since the beginning of the year. It had already turned milky. Is this filter and intake on the right side under your foot if sitting in the tractor?

Yes it is and the milky is more than likely foamed fluid.
When looking for a suction leak look for wet (or oily dust covered) connections / hoses / fittings as some with show themselves that way when not running and they seep.
