Rick, I had the same problem with the breaks on my CA. It is possible to replace the bands without removal of the final drives as said. However, chances are the slipping is caused by oil soaked break bands, as was the case on my machine. These old girls had leather seals which tend to shrink in time, resulting in some pretty hefty leaks. I did a complete tear down and rebuild on mine. I have the capability to metal spray the drums and shaft seal surfaces, if you'er interested I can rebuild yours. Typically the seal surfaces on the drive axles need repair also, if the surface is bad it will wipe out the new seal in a hurry. I sprayed mine up with a SS metalic and reground the shafts. I typically charge around $50 for a seal surface restoration. The diameter of the drums is some what critical. The right hand side drum is available from a re-man (don't go to AGCO, they'll take you to the cleaners) for around $100. The hand clutch one is no longer available, scrappers tend to cost around $200 and come with the same grooves you have. All the seals are available (National), I can dig up the numbers if you need them, CT tractor sells them in their catalog. The replacement seals are neoprene instead of leather, they are around $5 - $10 a piece. If you are elbow deep in a tear down, like I was, send the hand clutch out to a rebuilder, they will slip as the get hard and brittle, I found a rebuilder who charged me only $50, the re-man part is arround $90. When I did mine, I replaced all the hydralic seals tore down the pump and built it back up with new seals, painted her all up and built a 3 point hitch to boot. It took 3 months working nights. It blocked the driveway and my wife from putting her car in the garage. It took another 3 months to make up to her! Good luck
