brakes

[slowrev]

I would recommend getting a manual for your tractor. I will be some of the best money you will spend on it if you do at least some of your own work.

If this is preventing you from getting to your brakes, you need to get over it and get those wheels off. Loosen the wheel lugs on one side and jack it up til there is no longer any weight on the wheel, remove the bolts/nuts and roll the wheel away, just like pushing a 600# motorcycle, don't let it fall over.

or you'll have one HECK of a time getting it back up again /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

i had the same problem with old frod 2 n, the brakes just got dirty, some leakage, and rust, and they would not stop the tactor , even on a slight incline( how i ended up in the ditch) /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif try pulling the wheels off and cleaning the brakes, worked for me. know they are heavy but an extra pair of hands or a chain fall will allow u to do it. just be careful
