2010 stuck brake shaft

kylew01 · Sep 30, 2012

The shaft that goes through the tractor to drive the left side brake is seized up. Unfortunately the shaft runs through the center of the tractor. Seems like a very poor design decision. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone has any advice on how to break it free. Included is a photo of the shaft.

Thanks!!

My 2010 had a similar problem, but not totally seized. Happened after it had been sitting outside between hayfields. I was able to work it somewhat loose with a pipe wrench on the casting attached to the left end of the shaft, and with repeat applications of copious amounts of PB Blaster from both sides. I keep the PB spray can on the tractor and spray it every time I use it. Need to split the tractor this winter for clutch and ring gear work so plan to attack it more then.
