1969 M109A3 Brakes to floor! no stopping!!

[Last Man Standing]

so...my poor 109A3 has been down for a few months. Changing the rear main seal this week and went to move the old girl to the new location and noticed the brakes go to the floor.. I mean to the floor and no stopping! Worked when I parked her. I let it run for 30 minutes or so...no help. Any ideas where to start?

Your brakes are kaput!!!

You have a leak somewhere.

Wheel cylinder
Air pack
master cylinder
brake line

You will have to search and find it.

If you can not find a leak, more than likely it is the air pack.

When did you check the brake fluid last???

How long have you owned the truck???

Have you ever had a leak before???

Fill and bleed the brake master cylinder!!!!

Find the leak and fix it!!!!!

Yes, the power bleeder works great on these trucks.

Could it be an air pressure leak?

Start by checking the fluid, more than likely there is none. Next step is tracking down the leak. A power bleeder makes tracking down leaks much easier because it removes the need for Soldier B (second person). The power bleeder also makes bleeding the brakes infinitely easier. Start there and let us know.
