Desperately need help on my 1970 loader. Does anyone know why my brakes are locked up and won't release. It is an air over Hydraulic system. When I last started it,I tapped on the brake pedal a few times because the brakes were locked up. I pushed down really hard once and heard a load exhausting of air and pedal when soft. It did air back up to a normal pedal again, but still locked up. If I disconnect the line to the front air tank to empty it, the push rod retracts and unlocks brakes. They will begin locking up again once air tank refills without the pedal being pushed. Possible stuck treadle valve or perhaps EQR valve for brake cluster?
