No special tools to speak of, but it will take some lifting capacity. On the left side, it's a matter of unhooking the brake linkage, and pulling the final drive away from the transmission. The short diff shaft will comea way with it, and the band will slip right off the drum. On the right side, the brake is on the outer end. That requires a little more creative lifting setup, as the shaft is a lot longer. I THINK you can unbolt just the final, but you'' need room at the side to slip the shaft out of the housing, and you may have a little difficulty lining up the shaft to put things back together. SO, it may be better and in the end and easier to pull the housing first and then slip it off over the shaft. This will involve removing some of the seat platform from eithe the tractor or (easier) from the shaft housing and final drive.
There'd be no better time than while you havte things apart for the brakes to look over the seals around the differential shafts on both sides. There's a seal on each final drive where the shaft passes out through, and another on each side of the tranny. If you've got a lot of oil on the brake drums, take that as a sign of a leaky seal on teh final on the right side. On the left it could be either seal. The only extra work involved, once you're in that far, to change the seals on the final drives is that you'll have to get the brake drums off the shafts, so that you can pull the shafts to replace the seals. Removing the drums will either go easily or require rigging a puller. The seals on the tranny end are pretty straightforward.

Today's Featured Article - The Fordson F Ignition System - by Anthony West. A fellow restorer contacted me earlier this year asking for some help and advice on a model F that he was restoring. He had over a period of months spent a fair amount of his hard earned cash on replacement parts for the old "trembler" ignition. Sadly though all his efforts seemed to be a waste of time and money as he still couldn''t get the temperamental old thing to run correctly!! If i said that this was a little frustrating for him that would be "conservative" in fact the problem had reduce
