It might be better to get a I-T manual rather than one donated page. You can use it for the whole tractor and the price is right.

Ford/New Holland parts site has diagrams.
Here's a link to the 861 axle. Link

No need to remove axle to remove drum.

Back off brake adjuster if necessary.

Drum will likely be rusted to the axle if it has not been removed for years.

Penetrating oil around lug studs and center hub will help.

Persuasion with a hammer (brass preferred) around the perimeter and patience will pay off. The drum is steel rather than cast but do not wail on it.

If replacing brake shoes, post back for help removing the brake shoe pins and bushings which will likely be MUCH more time consuming if you do not have a torch. Posting in the Ford forum preferred.
