Hey guys I need some more input! I finally got my 300 utility from NJ up to my house in NY. After working on it all winter in a nice heated garage I finally got it off the trailer and then the fun began. Just going down the slight incline of my driveway I couldn't stop! missed my truck by inches and almost went over the bank while standing on the brakes! Finally dropped the bucket to stop the darn%^&$# thing. Brakes seemed fine on the level in a paved garage. Just bought a set of brakes on ebay and they came today... not alot of brakes for the size and weight of this tractor. Do these tractors stop when the brakes are in good shape. I plan on removing the loader because I'm going to brush hog with it and I don't need the extra weight in the front. Thanks to you guys my 12 year old included a picture to see the results of all the help you guys have given me on this tractor and on my first project the 1939 farmall A I'm brush hogging with now. thanls again, Tom

Here's the Farmall A I did in 1976. It has the 16-inch moldboard plow attached. Picture was taken with a Polaroid camera back then. Should've had the digital camera back then. Hal

Be ready for roughly 1 hour prep time just to get the new actuators to fit in your housing. I have done several sets of disc brakes . One on a Super C, one on a B-414 and recently my Super M . The actuators work very well after you grind them enough to get them to fit. I was pretty upset that the quality control of these parts was over looked . They are made in Turkey and they come close at best . at least they were oversized and not to small. Also good advice on greasing up the internals of the actuators . My Super M would not stop with me ( 300 LBS) standing on the peddles , now I use one foot and they can drag dirt if I choose .

Those brakes will lock the wheels up on pavement if they are in proper operating condition.

Best bet is to bite the bullet and get all the new parts - balls and springs are talked about quite often. A touch of grease on the balls and sockets helps - too much will get on the linings, I believe.

Haven't had much experience with the IH disk brakes, but this is what I remember from watching the discussions on them...

The brakes are fine -- but the disks, machined surfaces, balls, ramps, etc have to be in good shape. The IH disk brakes need regular maintenance, sounds like yours haven't had any. I bought a Super H, the seller loaded it for me, so the first time I drove it was to back it off the trailer. Brakes were 0, if a car or person would have been behind me it/they would be smashed. And that was with 5000+ hours on the seat of an H. Thought I knew it all. Learned my lesson.

Your son missed part of the U R L. No picture exists on the U R L because part of it is missing. The new brakes should help. Don't use any lubricant of any kind it the brakes or they will slip and won't stop easily. Make sure the inside of the brakes are clean, dry and free of dirt before installing the new parts.

I became my dad's main farm hand around 1966 at 12 years old. At that time we had a Super MTA. I was not big enough to "stand on the brakes". The brakes were the excuse he used to buy our new 706 diesel and trade in the SMTA, I still have the 706 and am glad he bought it, but sure wish I had the SMTA.

My Dad has a Super M-TA. For a long time it was hard for me to reach the pedals, but now its easy to drive that tractor.
