i have a mf 35. the right brake did not work very well so i took it apart to replace the pad. the thing was filled with oil. so i replaced both left and right axel seals, cleaned it all up, and put back together.

well long story short, it still will not work properly. i hit the right brake to help turn the tractor and i can feel the pressure of the pad hitting the drum, but it will not help turn.

the pads are adjusted properly but it just would work. the left brake works just fine and help the tractor turn on a dime.

any help?

Hi,
Assuming that the linings are OK, no oil contamination, your drum diameter is OK and the shoes are parallel,(adjusters in back plate, your problem is almost ceratinly wear in the operating cam. Remove the drum and shoes. I think that you will find wear on the end of the shaft where the shoes sit. Before removing the drum apply the brakes. The short lever at the back of the brake rod should be close to vertical. If there is any degree of it being forward then you are loosing leverage on the shoes. Clean up the end of the shaft with a grinder and build back up with weld. Grind off excess. You can leave it slightly proud. If the lever is still forward you may have wear on the shoe toes as well. Disconnect the brake rod and tie the pedal in the 'up' position. Refit shoes and drum and adjust until the wheel just locks. Adjust the brake rod and fit. Slacken the drum adjuster until it is just free. I'm pretty sure that will solve your problem. I have done quite a few in the last 30 years and afterwards every one has stopped on a 'sixpence' or should that be a dime?
