first thought was maybe a adjustment somewhere that was out although i had plenty of pedal ,well didn't help so i took the plugs out of the bottom thought maybe my dry brakes were wet brakes now ,nope no gear oil in there, pondered on it a bit so got the idea to take a mechanics scope and look up in there through the plug holes to see what was up ,still couldn't see what i was wanting too ,didn't really think about the rust from condensation ect . but couldn't tell there was any from the bottom side anyway. Guess i need pull the floorboards and get in there and see what is up ,don't look like a very big deal but was trying to avoid it if possible. thought maybe i was missing something but i am shure it is supposed to have more brakes than it has ,when the e brakes wont hold it on a slope ,let along a hill something's up ,its a flatland tractor right now and there is not much of that around here . learned right quick to stick that fel in the ground for parking brakes .
