Im in MN & most of these tractors sit out side,
these tractors were used to pick corn, Cultivate,
disk, for snow removel.
You name it-It was used for all kind's of things.
For those of you that say there good brakes & nothing wrong with them, You must keep the tractor in the shed all the time.
Every farmer around here that has a SM or a tractor with that kind of brakes has truble with them.
I have older JD's & they work any time, No problem
at all with them.
I Have heard of machining of the serface, The anti seaze sounds good, I used sylicone spray on the ball mecanizem, I think the glazing is the most important thing.
Even thought of sand blasting the disks a litle.
Then do the surface of the metal parts.
I guese when you guys say you have to maintain them thats fine but what would you do if you had a car that had brakes like these? Mantanice is fine but not this mutch. JD you fix when the dont work & then they last 10 years.
This type of brake was used on lots of combines & tractors & all are very high maintainence.
You have some good ideas.
I have a SM with out a loader thats not runing
write now I will try some of these things on it.
If it all works ill stop at the bottom of the hill a say HI to you! If not i will just wave on the way by.
