    LOL, if it's not leaking, it's not worn out. Or at least in my experience anyway. Soft parts is all I've had to replace. I do have a new set of Masters, just in case, but have never had to break the packages open.

    If there is a bit of grit or something that could be sticking that one plunger. I would be tempted to replace the spring's in both masters just in case. Keep the one that still works fine as a spare. Springs are expensive to have delivered when you're 10 miles out in the bush, cheep when you're in town.

    Glad to hear everything is working out

    As for the tire, I've not had that problem before. You can get Bead Lock Rims, I think someone mentioned the member Matt-O ??? maybe, for rims here once or twice. More air pressure will help, but at the cost of a bumpy ride. I run about 3.5psi in my tires and have pretty good luck. Soft enough to drive over Splintered stumps, but hard enough to stay on the rims.
    Best idea might be to not jam trees in there anymore

        I assume your brakes have a cooling fan; is it working? On both my 87 and 92, the fans when not working would cause brake fade and sponginess in the steering levers.
