Hello friends, My question is about brakes on a Farmall 686. I purchased this tractor recently and today I tried to adjust the brakes. Right side OK. Remove cover plate. Remove one shim. Re-assemble. Adjust pedal. Easy! Left side the cover plate is frozen to the reaction pin!! Consequently I can't get to the insides. I see two options. Option one would be to use an angle grinder and destroy/remove the cover plate. Then remove shims to affect the adjustment. Polish the reaction pin so new cover plate will fit. Then replace the cover plate with a salvage one. Option two (probably easier) is to remove the complete brake unit and replace it with a salvage unit. Looks like the four cover plate bolts hold the entire unit in place. But I don't know if I can remove the complete unit if I can't get to the insides. Any help?

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.
