guys I am confused. on my 48 8n had two different brake issues. the right side had a visible leak and would not stop the tractor. the left side did not leak but would grab and go from no brakes to full lock. several on here had told me from the photos it looked like I had worn out hubs. I have ordered new hubs and seal retainers. When I took the assemblies apart I found two different conditions. The non leaking side doesn't have a cork or rubber gasket at all. there were no shims only rtv any where on this side.
the leaking side has a cork gasket at the bearing 4 metal shims and I think what was once a cork gasket.
where I am lost is on the FO-4 it shows two #8s are both needed? neither side had one
should I order a few sets of the paper shims or reuse the old metal ones. or should I just use RTV?
on the one that had a bad oil leak should I pull the axle and check the seal #23?
these new hubs are about 1/4" taller than the ones that were on it and shoulder that was against the #11 axel retainer were work to a 30deg angle.
I also found out the axle retaining nut was only hand tight.... I guess I'm really strong and can loosen a 450lb/ft bolt with my bare hands.
