One question comes to mind is how far does the pedal travel before the brakes start to work. If they are way out there could be the adjusters are not tight enough yet. Or The expanders and balls may not have been cleaned to allow proper fuction. Also the is always if I did not do it myself or see it done, I do not trust what a shop tells me till I inspect it myself. Are you buying privatly or from a dealer. I got burned on a 730 diesel from a dealer last yr. All because I trust his head man alot. The dealer knew that and played me.

Replace the balls between the spreader plates with balls that are 1/16 to 1/8 inch larger in diameter than factory. Also replace the brake discs. You should be able to run the adjusters out almost all the way and still have plenty of pedal. This should end your brake troubles for another 20 to 25 years at least. We did this on our 930 and 1030 back in the early 1980s and haven't had trouble since. Easy fix ! ! ! ! !

I let my 830 set out in the rain one night and the brakes were shot. Rust forms on the steel expander and rubs off into the brake pad. The pad gets so slick with that rust that it will not grab. I'd say that new pads are in order. Also, if the seal is bad, grease oozing out of the transmission housing has ruined them. If the tractor is shedded, and the seals are good, those brakes will work for a long time.

Hi Don.
I have a 1030 where I put new linings on and new
oilseals on. On gravelroads I can make braketracks
with both tires at the same time, but on pavement,
only with one wheel at a time when I am going slow. The reason: I can�t apply enough force on both pedals to make tracks.
Best wishes, Jens Andersen, Denmark

Perhaps someone who has worked on those brakes will respond, but we've owned three 930's and one 1030 and the brakes are really pretty decent. There's obviously something wrong with those brakes. If my brother were here he could speak in more detail as he's worked on them.
