Hi all.
Just realized that a question I posted yesterday appeared in the wrong forum, so I am repeating it here:
"Hey Gents.
I posted a while back about lack of brakes on my TO30. I had renewed the brake pads/shoes, and adjusted them within the drums, reconnected the brake rods (adjusting them so the clevis (?) just reached the brake pedal cross shaft hole on each side), but when I took her for a drive, I applied the brake and still had nothing.
A helpful member here told me it was probably the drums themselves, so I had them checked and they are ok.
So, now I have the rear of the tractor up on jacks so I can put her into gear and watch the wheels/brakes, and when I put her into first, if I apply the individual brake pedals on each side, the wheel on that side stops. However, if I apply the main pedal.......nothing.
What am I missing? I have pulled up on the individual brake pedals and the rods do not seem to bend so I do not feel anything is seized. I feel it is probably something real simple and if it is, please forgive my ignorance.
Hoping someone can finally stop me pulling out the remaining few hairs left on my head :/"
A kind member responded within the other forum, but unfortunately the fix they mentioned seems to be for later tractors (?).
Any help would really be appreciated.
Thanks,
Scott.
