I assume your brake drums are external next to the rims and the oil seals have leaked . since I know nothing about your tractor this is just a guess ,look at the pedals and follow the linkages to the brakes would be my best guess, some of these chinese tractors use a band brake system they should be on the rear end housing.
I do not have a clue but you can try to assume that if around the oil filter housing if there is a oil line that goes to the injector pump it gets oil from the engine, no line it uses its own built in reservoir. I use 15/40 engine oil in those. they do not use much oil and are slow to fill.
yeah I have left it alone I took the mower off the tractor (bought new zero turn) and put a tiller on it so it does not get the use that it was getting.
there is nothing wrong with going old school, but a good quality joystick vs the chinese ones would have fixed it too. I have a joystick in a 2001 backhoe with over 4000 hrs and never touched it.
I know nothing about your tractor but is it possible that it has wet brakes , if so they would be inside the rear end, not at the wheels.
can you see any movement in the linkage that goes to the wheel area? in other words have you checked for any sheared pins in the linkage joints? this is just a guess for a place to start. if you split the brakes at the pedal does the brakes feel different from one side to the other?
I guess he figured it out ,and I wonder what happened to the 1st gear to make it fail? guess we shall never know. another mystery of life. hahahahaha
as far as the head cracking, it could have been bad from the factory , it could have been overheated to that point to crack but I would say most likely it was ran with straight water in the cooling system and it froze ,IMO. If you can not find the torque specs on the bolts you can get the thread pitch and grade bolt and find what the max torque suggested is, on line by several sites. good to see you are making progress. I have two chinese tractors by two different manf.s and if taken care of reasonably they are pretty reliable.
