Brakes bled. I had a couple drips. I tightened them up and it all seems to be holding pressure. My pedal firms up about 1/2 through its stroke and is solid by about 3/4 to 7/8. My Dad and I spun the tires as fast as we could by hand, he hit the brakes hard and BANG! They locked up! Being that I’ve never driven one of these AD trucks with brakes of any kind, is this about normal on the pedal stroke?

Still no word on that rear gear.

My puckboard panel looks pretty good.
