How good should the brakes on this tractor work? Should they be able to lock up and make the tires skid, or are they just kind of slow and take a while for them to stop it? I have just replaced the linings in them on both sides, since there was nothing left of them when I first got the tractor a couple of months ago, and they work like crap! I could have just as well saved my money and lived without any brakes, since they arent all that much better then before. The brakes on my Farmall M will lock up without even having to hardly touch them. Please Help!!

I'll quote a line I heard a while back...

"Those Cases were made to PULL, not stop!"

I assume that you adjusted them after they were re-installed by loosening the housing bolts and turning the adjuster plate nut? I believe that there are two sets of balls in each brake. One set is around 3/8" and the set is around 1/2" in diameter. I threw the old rusted ones away and bought some hardened stainless steel ones from McMaster Carr.

They should lock up the wheels, going forward. They are not particularly powerful going backwards.

Check the balls in the between the actuating disks. If they are corroded or worn you will have problems. Also look at the grooves they ride in if they are worn excessively you will have weak brakes. Finally make sure they are adjusted....
