I have a 1967 930 8 speed with no brakes. I hear this is very common in fact that even when they worked they didn't work. My question is it worth the trouble and $ to redo the brakes , will they work if done right and for how long? How big a job is it and any tips will be appreciated. I have one seal leaking oil onto the disc so I know that needs to be fixed on one side. I just don't want to go through all this and still not be able to stop. Any way to modify them so they will work? Thanks!

Just re-did mine on my 930, no big deal. Seals are a little tricky, though, had to do them twice. Apparently they don"t like being distorted any at all, so be CAREFUL not to dent them. Case dealer has ALL parts still available. Amazing! How many horsepower do these tractors have, anyway? 1966 930 with Draftomatic. The VIN tag says it"s a 931, what"s the difference? It"s my first tractor, and the ONLY Case I"ve ever been around or heard of in this area, for that matter. KY Jim

I believe Case disc brakes, most any model, get a bad rap for being no-good because they get impacted with dirt & become rusty or worse yet dirt & oil and folks don't clean em' when it's required. When clean, dry, and properly adjusted these brakes work just fine for field work. Not easy to push like hydraulics but sufficient and safe if cleaned. We've done it many times over 30 years of use on our fleet of 6 of the old girls.

Actually the 930 may have the better brakes because it has 3 discs per side. Also, if your running dual rears the brakes have an extra burden helping the tractor turn against all that traction.

When buying replacement discs you can save about half the cost by buying from several sellers on eBay.

What's the deal with using 5/8 inch balls to relace the old 1/2 inch balls? Where do you get these? How many are there?

If NAPA can't provide you with loose balls, you can get them at Small Parts Inc. The price is not too bad, but shipping is a killer, so combine orders (all those stainless screws you've always wanted?) if you can.

The larger balls help the discs to press against the friction plates. When you take them apart wear a dust mask and clean all or the rust out, The old 30 series Case breaks were not the best but they could be made to work pretty well.

Did the brakes on my 930 this last winter and they work fine now. I used a piece of thin plastic out of a large soda cup to cover the splined bull gear shaft so it wouldn't tear up the inside of the grease seal. Use a couple of bolts with the head cut off to guide the seal carrier when you put it on, makes the job a lot easier.

Consider this. Old tractor brakes are simple mechanical brakes, not hydraulic, not power assist. If you want it to stop like your wife"s Toyota, Honda, Chevy Lumina, Ford ... it won"t. Its a huge chunk of iron to stop rolloing and it will take standing on the brakes to do it. Fixing the oil leak will do wonders. I would also suggest pulling them both apart, washing the disks in gasoline, letting them dry and if the disks still have reasonable "pad" on them rub them on a sheet of sand paper lying on a FLAT surface to rough up a bit and remove any oil glaze. (Wear a dust mask because you will be loosening some asbestos material.

I have done this with my 630 and they work fine after that.

In the oven for 45 minutes at 400 degrees did a set on a 930 standard and made a world of difference. What have ya got to lose as they are no good like they are. Tom

I think I have band type brakes on my 630 instead of disks. I adjusted them last week according to the ops manual and they still don't work. Any suggestions for this type of setup?

My dad had a horrible time keeping brakes on his 630. Are your seals leaking. I have never had mine apart and they have worked like they should since I have owned it, so I can't even tell you if I have disks or bands. It's a 1963.

Thanks for all the responses, I ran the old girl today hooked her to a 15 ft batwing and I don't think it really new it was back there. So it's worth the effort, and I'm going to try to get her some brakes. Thanks for the input and suggestions.
