If the tractor is used regularly, say every couple of hours then the brakes remain solid. Once it sits for a couple of days then they disappear again.

Steering got hard, lost fluid, and I found a leak from the seal where the pitman arm attaches to the steering sector. (Will get and post pics tomorrow if wanted, dark now). Both sides were leaking so I replaced the seals and felt washers on both sides. Refilled the power steering, which was empty, cranked it up, and turned the wheel while filling till it was full. No more sector leak. But it started leaking pretty hard from what appears to be a vent on the steering mechanism body.
