When you are ready to pull the shaft out of the brake casting/bushings, look at the splines on the shaft. They may have a ceertain amount of wear causing a "flash" to build up on one side of the splines. If so, run a good file down the tops of the splines to remove the "flash". If this is not done, the shaft will be harder to pull out and the "flash" will put grooves in your bushings when you pull it out. Not much point doing harm to the bushings.

Dave, you have to remove the 2 bolts (19) holding each brake assembly to the main case [see picture], then remove the pin (35) & nut (34), then the whole shaft (1 & 2) [drum & all] will pull out of the housing... If the drum & shaft won't pull out easily, you will have to back the brake adjuster (15) off enough to allow the brake shoes to release & the drum to pull off over the shoes. If you have any questions just refer to the part & number with it..

Mornin Dave, Yes, you have to remove the entire brake assembly out the side of the tractor to change shoes, its held in by those 2 bolts and one nut/stud I believe (3/4 in I think), and theres a gasket under there. Once its out, you remove the cotter key and large nut on the big inside shaft (keep track of those shim washers), then the drum with its big attached shaft pulls off/out so you get to the shoes and springs. When I do that job (usually dirty and nasty), I disassemble and clean and wire brush everything and then coat the pins and cam and adjuster bolt threads with anti sieze lube. If the adjuster bolt still works, loosen it when you start things. Its not rocket science once youre in there, but you may find broken springs or a siezed up adjuster bolt and you can easily see how pressing the pedal rotates the cam to open the shoes and how screwign in the adjuster bolt pushes the brake shoes outward. Its not a bad job, just a dirty one. If needed, install a new seal so grease dont leak out on and ruin the shoes. Ive seen many that had no apparent brakes but where the shoes were fine, it was just a problem where the adjuster bolt was siezed up or rear end grease leaked onto the shoes. Good Luck, n God Bless Ol John T Nordhoff in indiana
