I have a 530(541) I believe it's a 1967 model. After the tractor sits for a few days the right rear tire locks up. If you put it in gear and start forward the tire will drag for a little bit then a loud pop and she'll free up. Anyone know what causes this and the fix for it? Thanks, Ron

My 530CK had a bad wheel bearing and did what you describe. It would pop loudly. Carefull you do not bust an axle housing. There are zerks to grease those bearings and folks forget them.

 Re: Case 530 brake problem in reply to Ron in MI, 11-14-2006 04:38:25  
Walt is right. The brake is locking up. The brake housing needs to be removed. The Bendix brake on your model has a band that tightens around a drum. The band causes the drum to expand which then applies pressure against the housing brake surfaces. It's a great brake system. However, it has a tendency to break the small springs which enable the drum and band to retract. Look for broken springs.

Your brake is hanging up it must be getting oil on it. If I'm correct you have disk brakes on that model that are on the side of the tranny. Remove the cover with the 3 bolts and then check it out. You may need to put a new seal in.

Thank you for your replies. I will check the brakes as soon as I can. One question though; I suspected this was a brake problem so whenever I park it I'm careful not to apply the brake. Would they still bind up if they weren't applied when last stopped?

 Re: Locking up even when not applied in reply to Ron in MI, 11-15-2006 10:08:37  
Yes, the brakes can lock up even when not applied if the retracting springs on the bands and drum halves are weak or broken. Rust also causes the brakes to grab and lock. I like to use a sealant around the top side of the brake housing surfaces to prevent water from entering the housing.
