John Deere 4500 Brakes

[Ron32288]

Hello everyone. I have a JD 4500 which I recently purchased and got running this year. The brakes work but sound like they make a grinding noise. How do I replace the brakes on this tractor?
Thanks

I would suggest, if interested in doing it yourself, to get the service tech manual for the 4500.

I'll look in mine tomorrow and see if I can help, if others don't chime in first.

You will be able to use the manual for other things that crop up too.

I have a 4300 and 4400 which should be similar. The brake packs are wet and housed in the left and right final drives. Does the brake linkage move freely?

Welcome to TBN
Since you hear a grinding noise when brakes are applied I'll suggest for you to remove hyd filter then cut filter open & look for metal fines which would indicate deteriorated brake linings.
