Hi Jack, You need a good shop manual to show you the correct procedure for servicing those brakes.
Contact Christian that has posted on here to your post. He may have the solution to your brake
problems. Those brakes may be worn down to the rivets and when you have metal to metal your brakes are going to be weak and will take more effort to stop the tractor. Call your nearest IH
dealer and have them fax or mail you a zerox copy
of the 674 brake overhaul.

I have a 1981 car that has very poor brakes. It's brakes were under designed. I've had pickup trucks that had better brakes. I've changed the brake pads numerous times.

I'm surprised that Ford never recalled
these cars for that problem. The rotors were too
small for this car's weight and it should've had dual piston caliphers installed. They aren't even available to retro fit it. Good Luck, Hal
