The right brake pedal on my JD A was sort of stuck: I could push it down with my foot if I really tried, but had to pound it back up with a hammer. I took the brake assembly off and apart, soaked both the frozen adjuster and the pedal shaft with penetrating oil for days, tried heating with a torch, still can't loosen up either one. Thought maybe I'd just take the pedal shaft out, clean it up, and reassemble, but I can get it to come out. Any suggestions for removal? Also, I was thinking that once the penetrating oil worked on it for a while, it might be possible to work the pedal back and forth enough to free it up, but with the assembly off the tractor, there's no obvious way to move the pedal without moving the whole assembly. Ought to be some way to hold it still without putting it back on the tractor, but at the moment I can't quite see what that might be.

Bob, when you say adjuster are you talking about the adjuster screw or the pin? Mine were both badly frozen and I PB Blasted the pin really good and tapped on it (I tapped on the adjusting screw side with a medium size punch). This was after removing the drum/shaft by loostening the nut and dropping it onto a block of wood several times nut side down.
In my case the key was to get those pins freed up the screws were'nt bad at all after that. I then wire wheeled everything and anti-seized as mentioned in the other post.
Just an idea..

Bob, I did like Ron said on my 52A. Trick is heat, heat and more heat. I had more trouble getting the adjusting screw out than the shaft. While you are at it you may want to do the other one before it freezes up and you have to go through this again. Make sure EVERTHING is free before puting it back together.

Hi Bob, I have a 1940 A that had the same problem, what i had to do was heat the brake assembly more than once, and keep hitting it with a hammer. Do this with the nut still on the shaft so you don't mushroom the shaftonce you get it apart, clean the shaft, hole the shaft goes through so everything can move freely, then put generous amounts of anti-seize lube on surfaces before reassembling. I also replaced all of the springs and small slides that ride on the cam shaft that the pedal attaches to. I now have no problems with the brakes. Give it a try it worked for me. my two cents Ron
