Really Squeaky Brakes 706 and 1066

Barry Bowen · May 8, 2011

This one is starting to drive me crazy. I replaced the friction material discs on my 706 and my 1066 this winter. I put a sander on my 4" grinder and cleaned the steel surfaces as best I could, getting rid of the glaze etc. for the new discs to run on. Both tractors worked great at first, but have redeveloped the screeching noise as they come to a stop. It is also taking more pedal pressure to get them to stop. They are both also screeching when I have to hit the right brake to swing the tractor through a tight turn. What did I miss?

They are wet brakes so the only thing I'd say is the fluid is probably not right for them!!!!
