Case DI foot brake not working

Hi Folks,

I'm brand spanking new to tractors, I wanted a cheap backhoe so I bought a 1953 Case DI with a Sherman Hoe & Lull loader. The old tractor is amasing to me, just the fact that something this old still runs & works hard...

It has a hand brake which works well and is easy to see the workings. The foot brake just goes to the floor, nothing. You can see linkage movement, but from moving it with my hand, I'm limited to what I can see under the tractor. I was wondering if someone can point me in the right direction for what to look for next. Is there an adjustment, or a notorious weak link in the system? Thanks.

Great site!

BTW, I posted two pics in the gallery.

George, we need to know if you have mecahnical or hydraulic brakes. Look under neath to see if the linckage goes straight to an arm on the backing plate or to a hydraulic cylinder in the one on you car and then by a small pipe to the pcking plate.

I was looking at it again yesterday, it looks like a mechanical system. There is a thick rod going into the back of each wheel hub,and they do rotate when you depress the foot brake pedal. No hydraulic cylinders or small tubes.

I guess there is some way to get into the back of the hub, or maybe the front?

Thanks for the response,Walt.

OK George now remove the big nut holding the large arms on they should pull right off the spline but may need some tapping or a puller if frozen on. Clean the splines and oil them for installation. Now pull them in the direrection that the downward pedal moves them. they should then be in the full on brake position. Adjust the clevises so that you have about 1/2 in of play at the top of the pedal. if you don't have enough adjustment in the clevis then move the arms one spline at a time till the clevis is near the center of its threaded rod. You should then have brakes again.
Walt
