Case superM series 2 rear brake line part

[camelot]

Hello all. I broke the flexible brake line that goes into the rear axle at the fitting. I can't find a part number for the fitting that screws into the rear axle. Or would anyone have a decent diagram of this particular part?
Final question, do you need to bleed the brake lines after or will they expel air as they are pumped?
Thanks

Russell

Welcome to HEF, Russell !
You need to get a service manual.
The on-line parts book is a tremendous help for part locations on a machine.

I did get one and I am struggling to find the parts diagram for this as I'm not sure if its under hydraulics or brakes. I ordered part 218-5103 but it came in as a 90 degree part and the one I broke was straight. I may try the 90 degree one and see if all works.
Do I need to bleed the air out after? I've never worked on a brake system that use the hyd/trans oil before

The parts book shows a 90 degree fitting for the axle. You can take the fitting you have and see if your Case dealer can match it up.

Someone may have substituted a straight one for the 90° it originally had.
You may need a tubing bender.

The 580SM series I has a straight fitting part number 218-5053

Thanks Coy I will try that number.
Does the brake system need to have the air bled out or will it work the air out on its own?

Thanks

 

[Coy Lancaster]

Yes it will need to be bled, there is a bled screw on tome of brake housing. Sometimes you can just open it and it will gravity bleed.

I have been looking through both service manual and parts book but I can't locate the bleed screws. Are they located on the top of the rear axle? Likely a 7/16 or 1/2" probably?
Thanks in advance.

 

[Coy Lancaster]

The bleed screw should be right next to the park brake lever.

 

[Coy Lancaster]

You might find some that will work through aftermarket sources

 

[camelot]

Coy do you mean it is located in the cab beside the parking lever or underneath beside the parking brake mechanism?
I was able to get the part from our local New Holland/Case dealer.
Thanks

 

[Coy Lancaster]

The bleeder is on the axle beside the lever where the park brake cable connects to the lever. There may be a rubber/plastic cover on the bleeder.
