TJ5208 1,824 #1 Posted February 10, 2022 (edited) Ok guys when I went to pick this tractor up it had no brake well I tightened the brake band down still making no difference just rolls. I tightened the nut on the brake band it seemed to help a little. Now the brake band is dragging. What do I need to tighten? Or is the brake band or drum wore out? I tried to push the tractor no skidding. Just rolling. And the nut on the brake band is at the end of threads won't tighten no more Edited February 10, 2022 by TJ Salyers 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Achto 27,751 #2 Posted February 10, 2022 Is there any pad left on the brake band? Can you get a picture from the side? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Achto 27,751 #5 Posted February 10, 2022 Looks like there is pad yet. Set the parking brake and try pushing the tractor. Watch the brake hub and see if it is tuning. If it's not turning but the tractor moves, then you may have a sheared key on the brake hub. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Achto 27,751 #12 Posted February 10, 2022 Seems to be operating correctly. The pad may be warn down too far for the stock adjustments. Remove the adjustment nut and place a larger nut on that will slide over the rod. Put the original adjuster nut on and adjust it again. The larger nut will just be there to take up some space. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TJ5208 1,824 #13 Posted February 10, 2022 Could I leave that nut there if it stopped the tractor. I don't think I could or should just gonna listen to you guys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The original nut will not thread on any further. Right? Put a larger nut in front of it as a spacer. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TJ5208 1,824 #17 Posted February 10, 2022 My neighbor has a part 416-8 so I guess I'll see if I can get the brake band off that and see if it works. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just know that some where down the line you will want to get a new brake lining. It's a temporary fix that will buy you a lot of time. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it's hydro and you are not returning to the neutral position, it won't stop. Manual is different. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
