Going to tear down the brakes on the A, the pedals stick and have to be returned by heel. Even then the left brake drags a bit sometimes. I do not have a diagram. Any helpful hints are appreciated. Thanks. ( Clooney, John T and others, this is the one I had the Governer problems on. Runs fine after the carb, mag and governer rebuild. Thanks for the help. Bob

Bob,
I have also had problems with the brakes on my A. Sometimes when I use my right brake, it will lock up, and not release until I put the tractor in reverse and back up 5-10 ft. Is this the same problem you are having by any chance? If this is your problem, or if anyone knows what would cause this, please let me know. I don't have much time to spend working on the old girl right now, but am keeping track of all of the advice y'all are giving related to A's. Thanks!

J

More than likely your brake shoe return springs are broken. Your shoes are also probably chewed up some. If you need some help with it, let me know.

Like the other guys have said,try to get a shop manual or parts manual, very good help. I tore into mine without even seeing these and actually its very simple. The guy who owned the tractor before me ground off the rivets on the outside of the drum though, don't need to do that. Have you tore into it yet? I could walk you through it. I had the exact problem on my A brakes. 4 new brake shoe return springs and a good cleanin and they work like a charm.

Best thing you can do is get a parts book, it shows how things go together. I tore mine down and rebuilt them using the diagram, just clean the old gunk off everything and it shoud go together fine.

Often a good clean up is all many brakes need, so long as the shoes have plenty left. I light sand them to remove any oil build up. One thing we ALWAYS do is apply a light coating of anti sieze lube on the cam and pins and that adjuster bolt. We wire brush all parts thoroughly and usually, of course, install new seals/gaskets.
