If his rear brakes were out of adjustment then he may have blowen a wheel cylinder as my buddy did on his 2001 3500 Goat . I may do all of his tractor work but i plum hate working on cars and trucks . Bad enough when i have to do my own or my girls cars. It is Don't call me don't talk to me and do not come around me when i am doing this , just go away and don't come back for a couple days. Well eugene will take his cars and trucks to any Billy Bob or Jimmy Joe who thinks he is a mechanic . Then whe something goes wrong he keep asking me what is wrong . I keep telling him i did not work on it and take it back . Well he has had rear brake problems since the last idiot worked on them . He would not let up on me about looking at them . Told him OK i'll look at them BUT YOU ARE GOING TO WORK ON THEM i am not getting my hand dirty and i AM NOT layen on the ground to do this.------- So in his drive on the gravel HE gets into them as i set on a five gallon bucket . I am doing what i told him i would do and that is LOOK at them . Yep the pass anger side wheel cylinder is blowen out due to out of adjustment brakes . So ned wheel cylinder , new brake shoes as they are plum tore up , need hard ware kit as everything is tore up . Next before we go to the parts store we check the drivers side and OH it is a hick up and a sneeze away from doing the same thing . WHY , well if you get into these brakes and replace the hard ware with a new KIT one had best first understand how things work and how the self adjusters work and if everything is still in place when you take it apart and you are a NOVICE at this TAKE PICTURES BEFORE YOU TAKE THINGS APART . Because Jimmy JOe and Billy Bob must not have done this as they had the self adjuster levers on the wrong side and (1) that left the adjusters to back off on the one side and (2) the other side would now back it's self off . Well Eugene learned how to do a brake job correctly , learned how to make up and properly bend brake lines to fit like OEM and how to Bleed brakes . His schooling lesson only took 6 and a half hours , i really need to find a cushion that is soft and fits the bottom of a five gallon bucket , my rear end got a little sore but i did not get my hands or clothes dirty .
Now his brakes work.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo. ... [Read Article]
