Have been into this type of brake on several different model Farmalls. Be careful not to twist the adjustable activating rod in two when you try to unscrew it. Remove this first, then remove the long bolts through the brake housing. Clean housing with solvent and dry. Place the housing cavity facing up at you on the floor. Slide the first brake disc off the splined bull pinion shaft,wipe off dirt and grease, and place in brake housing just like it came off tractor. Next remove the activating plate assembly. Here is where you need to watch out for flying parts. This assembly has two plates joined by springs. Remove the springs after you have assembly off tractor and clean, polish and lightly lubricate the activating steel balls inside this assembly. Reassemble balls, plates and springs. Set this assembly insude housing on floor, noting how it fits into housing. There should be one more disc on tractor. Remove and set in housing, after wiping off dirt and grease. Do not try to remove the last casting from the rear end housing. It is the bull pinion bearing holder and it will break if you try to remove it. There is an oil seal in this housing that should be replaced. You will have to do this with the hosing on the tractor. After seal is replaced, VERY LIGHTLY lubricate splines in bull pinion shaft. Use 10 weight oil. Too much oil will contaminate brake disc pads. Reassemble brake in reverse order substituting new discs for old. Adjust brake pedal free travel to specs in manual (ususlly about 1 inch. Good luck.
