My brother-in-law has an Ferguson F40 that is not safe to operate. The problem is when you tramp the brakes there is very little stoping power. Is there a way to adjust them? How much of a job is it to replace them? It is also leaking hydraulic fluid below the operators seat. I tried to tighten the bolts in this area, but don't think this is going to help the problem as they were tight. There was so much dirt in this area I couldn't be sure where it is actually coming from. We are going to plow with this tractor in the next day or two and we will watch it closely. Any help will be appreciated.

Chuck, thanks for the information. Sounds simple enough, I should have been more observant when I looked at the brakes.

Set the brakes up evenly by removing the long
narrow rubber plug on inner plate on outside of
axle. Same as older automotive style,turn the
adjusting screw by "levering" the tabs on the
screw. To fix the hyd leak you will need 3-pn
195561M1 O ring. Be sure the 3 pt. is down and
remove that top plate. One O ring is under the
plate and one on ea end of the standpipe.The pipe
may come off with the plate or stay. When you
re-insert the standpipe you must do so with your
fingertips,carefully finding the hole and pushing
down with your thumb-then seat with a light tap
with hammer handle or?. If the pipe slips down
you must take a side cover off to retrieve. Also
If the brakes don't work after adj.they may need
to be roughed up if glazed or Rpl if oil soaked.
Chuck.
