Help with vacuum brake system
I have a 85 F700 with vacuum brakes on the rear. Before we bought it someone had taken all the lines off of the system. So no rear brakes or parking brake. I have the parking brake valve but, could use a diagram to re install the vacuum lines and such to get everything back working. Needless to say... It's a lot of fun trying to stop this beast with just front brakes.
Its a 24ft rollback wrecker. Maybe it is bigger than yours LOL

Not safe as the only parking brake.
diagram to reinstall the vacuum lines? Could this have air brakes? I think you should talk to a local medium/heavy duty truck mechanic and get a basic understanding of the brake system you have.
Sorry, I don't have any idea what system you have.

I think this is what you need.

the vacuum brake system is controlled through a brake pipe connecting a brake valve in the driver's cab with braking equipment on every vehicle. The operation of the brake equipment on each vehicle depends on the condition of a vacuum created in the pipe by an ejector or exhauster. The ejector, using steam on a steam locomotive, or an exhauster, using electric power on other types of train, removes atmospheric pressure from the brake pipe to create the vacuum. With a full vacuum, the brake is released. With no vacuum, i.e. normal atmospheric pressure in the brake pipe, the brake is fully applied
thanks, dennis..

Dennis, I'm not sure skyvia is a real person His posts are questionable to say the least.
I just did a Google with part of his post, and got this, word for word: Vacuum Brakes
