The disk brakes on late letter, and early # series are problematic. There are three balls between two center plates which ramp away from each other. these get rusty and pockets wear in the ramps. I believe the tractor will operate with no parts (except the shaft sticking out) but I do not recommend this course of action. you might say that the break is inoperative now, but that doesn't stop the tractor. The r&r of the assembly, cleaning/sanding of the balls, pivots, and springs, and lubing the balls and ramps with a thin film of extreme temperature silicon grease compound (not silicon spray -, not petroleum anything)is not hard (about two hrs).
