Left & right are identical. No springs, etc. inside to surprise you. The left side is no different than the right in removal. The PTO is in the rear of the tractor; were you thinking of the clutch pedal?
Please replace any leaking seal; the new brake band (& about $40) will be ruined very soon if you don"t.
It is not easy to remove the old seal but patience will help. Do not try to remove the cast iron seal retainer; it will break unless gears are removed first.
Be sure to get all the old seal removed; it is about 3/4" thick & has an outer liner holding everything together.
Replace with 2 (two) new style seals and put some chassis grease in between them for long term lubrication protection.
Use steel wool to clean the brake drum sealing surface making sure all scratches are removed before installing the drum on the bull pinion shaft.
Lube the brake shoe pivot bushing in the transmission housing and in the brake cover before you slide the new linings in place.
Place a small amount of grease in the hole where the brake pivot goes into the transmission housing and be sure the brake pivot works freely in the cover. Oil the area well and let the excess drip off before installing the new bands.
After installing the band & getting the pedal free-play to about 1", apply the brake firmly, lock it in place and adjust the setscrew on the bottom side of the cover. (helps to loosen any adjustable parts BEFORE re-assembly) Loosen the jam nut, turn the set screw in until it touches the brake band, back out 1/2 turn & lock the jam nut. This helps prevent the brake from dragging, premature wear, and overheating.
Repeat for the other side and adjust the pedals for equal braking effort so when the pedals are locked together the tractor stops without pulling to one side.
