Taken your advice and pulled brake housing as it was leaking a little bit of oil from the gasket also, there was no gasket on either side, new ones ordered. Also there are 2 drain holes on each housings, they are drilled on the back side of housing and through the back bushing, both were open.Question now is should I put a very small amout of lite grease on the shaft when putting back together as it will be awhile before tractor is ready to run, oil would be off the shaft before I get the rest of it done. Had to order the pins that move the shoes out as these had about had it but everything else looks to be O.K. Thanks for all the help. Don c

Sure. A little grease wouldn't hurt a bit. You just don't want too much of it in there.....well, you really never want too much grease...you know the drill.

more update, started cleaning housing up and found 2 other holes toward the middle of the housing. Think this is where Clooney said it would drain back into transmission. They was almost plugged, found the holes in the housing of the transmission where it drains back, also almost plugged. Think I have found dirt and crud on here that came over on the Mayflower. Thanks again. Don c

If the gear lube is that nasty, you might want to consider flushing it some time when you have a chance. I like to drain it, let it drip for quite a while, then refill with just a little too much diesel fuel. Then I drive them on a tilt, like with first one wheel then the other in a shallow ditch. That really swishes the dirt out. Drive it quite a bit, you can't hurt it, then drain. You'll get bugs and chaff et al.

Re-fill with some new gear lube (I like 140 when I can find it) and as long you keep it out of the rain, it will be good for a long time.
