Anyone know anything about tractors?

I have an old John Deere 2240. Bought it several months ago, and it had some moisture in the hydraulic fluid and the brakes weren't working. I flushed out all the oil and had the brake valves rebuilt because the check valve inside was damaged. Now only one side works. The other side seems to be jammed up inside and there is no brakes on that side at all. The pedal will bleed all the way down when bleeding the brakes, so the valve is fine. Anyone ever took one of these apart to mess with the brakes. I'd rather do it myself, but I'd like to have the correct parts on hand so it doesn't sit around disassembled for a couple weeks. Anyone know what parts I should have on hand for this? TIA

just go to the parts dept of the nearest tractor implement. ask them what they think. they will:
1- give you the necessary part(s)
2- explain how to do it

My experience with tractors (all borrowed) has taught me that the essential parts to always have on hand include:
1) extra retention pins for the ones that refuse to be retained
2) a grease gun and lots of grease to do routine maintanance to tractors that have had no TLC in years
3) a full spare can of diesel to keep the tank full as all tractor seem to have inoperable fuel gauges
4) assorted nuts and bolts (although you will never have the size you need on hand)
5) a calander that has no project end dates marked on it
6) a cell phone to call for help
7) and most importantly a wallet full of cash.
Good luck

sounds like air in the line that needs to be bled off

No, I've bled both sides thoroughly. It's locked up, won't move at all. I'm guessing the moisture in the oil may have caused it to corrode.
