Quick question for anyone familiar with the old 530. I need to change the brakes on the unit, but I am not quite sure how much of a job it is going to be.
I have changed the brakes on an old Massey before, but not quite sure how relatable it will be to the 530 since the MF used a drum brake set-up.
Is this something a shade tree mechanic can do, or should I think about contracting it out?
Any tips would be appreciated....as long with what parts are generally replaced (e.g. can you replace just the linings, or is it best to replace the band & the drum)
Thanks,
Rich
