My father-in-law has a L sticking brake on his 450.
I read this prior article here...
http://www.yesterdaystractors.com/cgi-bin/viewit.cgi?bd=farmall&th=849830
...and I'm asking for some further advice.
Any reason to take either of these plates on the transmission off?
I ask because this is that wear-surface on the tranny plate, somewhat pitted and uneven...
... and here is the wear-surface on the actuator, and these two are representative of all 4 surfaces on each brake, R and L...
... and do these surfaces need to be 'turned' to make them smooth?
These are representative of all the ramps and balls, which look OK to me, unless someone thinks I'm missing something.
And last, representative of all 4 discs, just shy of 1/2" each...
... which seem thick enough, and I'll take all the excellent advice in the previous article about cleaning the male and female splines, and the light-lubing, and scuffing the discs and pressure surfaces, if you all think they're still serviceable.
One almost last question about Mr. Nicholson's advice about tolerance, because the difference between .06 and .03 isn't a whole lot, and I don't want to screw it up. As I hear it, 1) I measure the thickness of the stack including the actuator and both discs, and then 2) the distance from a straight-edge to the wear-surface of the housing, and subtract the difference. Do I have it right?
Lastly, my question is: do I have to take into consideration, in the measurements, the wear-surface on the plate on the transmission, and especially if it needs to be 'turned'.
Thanks, guys.
