JD 4410 eHydro brake sticks

[WannabeChickenFarmer]

When I push the brakes on my dad's 4410 it brakes but doesn't release after you let go of the brakes. The pedals will come up but the brakes don't release. A friend of mine had a 4310 doing the same thing so he told me to get underneath the tractor with a hammer and knock the brake back. It works but that gets old like really quick. Is there a place to grease it or what really is the problem? Did any of you have a problem with the brakes on the 4310 ,4410. How can it be fixed? Thanks

I too had a 4310 with the same problem. Mine was because of salt damage.
I took off the brake linkage and springs and liberaly applied PB Blaster to the shaft going into the housing. I then moved the lever back and forth till it loosened up. Hope this will help.

Our 3520 does the same thing...this should not happen to a 1 year old machine?

Yes, the linkages get tight and the shafts going into the axle housings get grit in them or rusty. Clean and lubricate each side.
