Braking has been very bad since I got this tractor and it became just a bit too exciting going downhill, so I got 2 pairs of brake shoes and have taken off one wheel.
When I took a look I wondered if I've been too hasty purchasing the spares. The shoes look pretty good to me, though a little glazed (see pix). The minimum liner thickness is 4mm.
I'm thinking that the brakes are just out of adjustment, as the adjuster sprocket thing doesn't seem to line up with the slot (at least on this wheel, see pix) so would be virtually impossible to turn?
Anybody got any views or suggestions?
