The pedal on the floor is the steering brake. If the pedal is going down that far the brake lining is worn out or completely off the band. On the back of the bevel gear housing there are two 2" inspection holes, for checking the bands. Replacing (relining) the bands is not expensive, but it will take about 4 hours to get to them. The seat, fuel tank and bevel gear housing cover must be removed. The bands can be removed without disturbing the steering clutches. If you have restored cars, you can handle changing the brake bands. As it sits, I personally don't know why it would need 3000.00 in repairs, if the only thing wrong with it is the steering brake. People are always freaking out over the undercarriage, which they are certain is shot, every time someone posts a tractor like this. I would recommend,however, that you find a proper lubricator for the front idlers and the bottom and top rollers, to try to preserve what is left of them. Also see if the guy has a track adjusting wrench. If you're planning on using this thing, you'll want to keep the tracks tight, or else if the tracks do happen to be near the end of their life, they'll come off when you least expect it. you'll also want to invest in a round-nose spade for cleaning the track frames when they become full of dirt. If the owner doesn't have a track wrench, I have one you can have for the cost of shipping.

They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
