Not sure what happened on that thread couldnot post reply or new pictures.
thanks for all the help so far hopefully these pictures will help and answer the questions you have for me.
I'm not sure what a top link hydraulic is. Maybe you can tell if I have it with the better pictures. Also tell if emergency brake needs new pads are they separate from the regular breaks that work good? Hopefully can see the small leaver under the seat better also.
thanks Jim

Yes, that's a parking brake. That style is commonly found on British built tractors. It is a good brake but they do wear out. You will likely need to buy new discs for inside of it. Parts are still available from CNH. Probably not cheap though.
Click on the link below.
I said hydraulic top link - not top link hydraulic.
But I can see now that you have a standard turnbuckle type top link. And I can see that your hydraulic lines are not connected to anything. That's why the lever under the seat doesn't do anything.
Handbrake
 
A hydraulic top link would replace the standard top link and
operate from your remote under the seat,that what the hoses
are for or any equipment that has hydraulics on it. You have a
standard top link. As for the brakes the emergency brake is a
transmission brake and is separate from the foot brakes. I
don't know much about the Trans brake but I'm sure someone
will know and be able to help you.
 
Even with the transmission handbrake it might still have the stock "parking brake" as well, which is a small handle near where your right foot sits when you're sitting on the tractor. it is a small "T" handle That you pull up on when you press the left brake pedal down to lock it down, and if your use the sliding interlock to lock the two brake pedals together then the "T" handle locks them both down. The handle for the stock "parking brake" is item number 52 in the parts diagram in the link below, and the slide to lock the two brake pedals together is item number 32A.

well that was a good call. I do see where the lock is supposed to be on the break but it is missing and also the T handle but it is missing as well.also I did pull apart a hand brake drum and it was rusted got it loose but it still does not work very well the pad was in good shape. I probably should get the parts to fix the foot brake for safety.
Thanks

There was a cold start aid available, but it was optional. It was not glow plugs though, it was called a "Therm-O-Start". It was a fitting that screwed into the intake manifold and had an electrical wire and a fuel line that was "tee'd" off of the return line going to it. The key switch had an extra position to run the Therm-O-Start which supplied electricity to the unit which had a heating element inside and the electricity heated up the element until it was glowing hot and the heat caused a valve to open and allow the fuel to dribble in onto the hot element and the fuel would catch fire and then when you cranked the starter the hot flaming fuel would get sucked into the cylinders and provide extra heat in cold weather so it would start easier.

Look for that fitting on your intake manifold. It may be there but just not working any longer. Replacements are available and you can add one even if it doesn't currently have one.

I do you see a rubber hose coming off of the injector pump looks like it goes up to the manifold is that possibly it? Thanks

That is likely the return line. Excess fuel from the pump goes up that line and that line connects with the individual injectors and excess fuel from each of the injectors gets added to the line along the way and then the line takes all of the excess fuel back to the the tank, via a fitting on the front side of the filler neck. If you have the Therm-O-Start feature, that line would have either a tee fitting in it or a small round tank between the injectors and the fuel tank, and a line from the tee or the tank would go to the Therm-O-Start fitting in the intake manifold itself.

Raise the right side hood panel, swing the battery tray out of the way and look on the intake manifold itself.
 
Two more questions on the 532. Under the seaton the right side there is a valve an A knob and a leaver see picture I number them 1 2 & 3 could anybody tell me what those three are for. Also was looking into putting a loader on this tractor. wondered if there would be any problems. It does have power steering.the loader is off a case 630. Also where could I get a manual for a 532?
thanks again Jim

Top left is draft control lever. Up is position control. down is draft control.

Bottom one is flow control to control the speed of the lift while in draft mode.

The top right is...?? either a detent control or flow control for the external hydraulics?? I am really quessing as its not a normal valve. ????

Thanks for the information top right may well be speed control for the auxiliary. I don't think the guy I got it from knew it was on there he said the auxiliary cylinder always ran real slow.
