I put a spin on oil filter on my 175. The filter is a MF part number 1447082M1. Does anybody know what that would cross to in a Fleetgard or Fram or something that I don't have to go 50 miles to get?

Also have a brake problem. About five or six years ago I put new linings in the brakes and took the glaze off of the steel parts. They worked great ever since, probably put a thousand hours on the tractor.

All of a sudden the right brake starts locking up when you apply it going forward. If you put the tractor in reverse and back up a little it unlocks. I took it apart thinking those must be cheap linings to wear out that fast! The first set lasted 35 years, 5000 hours. So I crack into it and the linings are hardly worn. There is a little glaze but nothing bad. No other sign of anything wrong. I'm going to clean it all up good and reassemble. Any ideas about why the brake is locking up? Or anything else I should check before reassembly?

Thanks,
JP.

Hello JP,
You have come across the very very common problem of dry grabbing or 'all or nothing' brakes. This occurs with this type of brake once the actuators wear, hence the MF decision to change to oil immersed brakes.
The problem is caused by either the ramps on which the balls roll wearing to form small steps or the actuators themselves 'twisting' and locking in the casing when the pedal is applied. Look for any rough edges where the actuators locate in the housings and of course for wear at these points. Smoothing them down will help. It is far from ideal but applying a small amount of copper grease to the contact points will allow the brakes to free a little more easily.
Normally new actuators will provide a cure but for how long cannot be guaranteed.

Thanks David,

I cleaned them up real good and carefully ground off anything that looked like a rough or sharp edge. On the test drive (around the lane way a couple of times and then two rounds cultivating) the brake seemed to be back to good. Time will tell.

JP.
