Bill, I'll bet even money its a brake froze on. You will need penetrating oil,a good heavy crowbar and a substantial hammer. The brake rod that activates the lining to the drum is rusted into the tractor housing. Normally there is a brass bushing on the end that fits into the trans housing. The iron on both sides of the bushing rusts, causing great pressure on the brake rod, almost like it was welded. You need to remove the bolts on the brake pan, I beleive there are 8. The pan will not move because the brake rod is siezed into the trans housing. You will need to saturate the end closest to the tractor with penetrating oil, then get the thin edge of the crowbar in behind the pan and against the inner lip of the brake rod, then drive it with a heavy duty hammer or sledge, keep prying and working the brake rod, it will eventually break free, I spent six hours breaking on free on an H. If you have a torch heat the brake rod red hot then douse with cold water, get a vize grip in the brake activating arm and try to move it as you hammer...they can be a pain, you will begin to think it won't ever come off, but keep at it and it will. Hone out the hole in the trans case, get a new brass bushing and grease it up good and reassemble..its a hell of a lot of work but its the only way..Good luck..Mike in Exeter Ontario
