The brake pads should clean up if you caught them early. I had a truck with new brake pads that got a little oil soaked. The brake shop put them under a bunch of heat lamps and cleaned them up. After cooking the oil out you could lightly sand them or maybe use a wire brush in your grinder to give them a new surface.

its a problem with the voltage regulator or stuck or worn brushes in the generator

Wow, impressive work on the Case 480ck! Flushing the torque tube reservoir sounds like a smart move, especially if you noticed water contamination that could explain why the red fluid looked off. I’ve seen similar issues on older equipment where moisture sneaks in and mixes with the hydraulic fluid, causing strange colors and reduced performance.
On a side note, if you’re ever dealing with smaller equipment maintenance or even repairs around the workshop in Singapore, I’ve found that calling in a reliable team can save a lot of trial-and-error. For instance, Handyman Services Singapore recently helped with a hydraulic lever housing repair at a local sawmill, making sure everything ran smoothly without downtime, you can learn more about their carpentry and repair services.
It’s amazing how that little Case is handling such heavy loads, really shows the versatility of these machines. Keep us posted on how the breather assembly situation turns out; I’m curious how that part integrates with the shuttle cover since it’s missing in the parts manual.
