ford 3000 brake question?

[evans]

i have a 1969 ford 3000. when i bought the tractor it had a little bit of brakes on the left side so i pulled into it and found the axle seals were bad so i repacked the bearings replaced the seal and shoes on both sides cleaned everything and put it back together and adjusted them up till i have a good pedal now when i step on the pedal you can hear the shoes rubbing the drum but i cannot stop it in a 50 acre field! could the drums need to be turned or do they make differant grades of shoes like semi metallic any ideas would be app. thanks evans

Probably better that you post your question here: New Holland Owning/Operating

Did you use a degreaser on the brake drums? Perhaps they are "glazed" and you may have to get them turned.
