short version: 1. What is the clearance specification for the pin that is under the parking brake band on a 2130 tractor? 2. How much wobble is allowed on the parking brake drum? long version: My 2130's load control shaft developed a real bad leak (about 2 gallons a day) so I went about changing the seals. When I tried to reinstall the shaft it wouldn't push through. The hole was blocked by ice cube sized chunks of what turned out to be brake lining. The only way to get all the pieces out was to remove the rockshaft housing. When I bought the tractor last year the parking brake did not work (along with most everything else). At the time I just figured the "shoes" were worn out and I'd get around to replacing them sometime. Well, that sometime was now since I already had the rockshaft housing off. But someone had been in there before me and removed all the internal brake parts except the drum which seemed very loose. At this point I hesitated and wondered if I should just put it back together and continue to use the loader as a parking brake. But considering the loader only works until the pressure bleeds off and I'd already been chased down the hill once, I thought I'd be healthier in the long run by fixing it. So I bought the parts and got them all installed. The problem now is when the brake is set with the drum so loose on the shaft, it slides side to side or wobbles so much that it can rub the lube line on one side or the tray on the other. How much wobble is allowed on the parking brake drum? I also need to know what the clearance specification is for the pin that is under the parking brake band. Also, the PTO brake doesn't work. Since I've got everything torn apart I might as well fix that too. Any information would be appreciated. I have both the I&T and Deere manuals but neither one offers any information about the parking or PTO brake. Thanks in advance, Casey in MO
