[Farmall] brake cover

[E. John Puckett]

It's been about 30 or more years since I worked on a farmall H, so I am 
a little rusty, but my suggestion would be to loosen/remove the vertical 
bolt in the bottom of the cover (that will give a little extra room for 
the band to move, and since you managed to move the cover a little, get 
a can of spray penetrating oil with a spout and spray inside it.  You 
can remove the oil form band and drum later with some brake cleaner.  If 
you need manuals (owner, parts, maintenance), they can still be 
purchased through your local Case/IH dealer, or on line form 
www.binderbooks.com.  Binder's manuals are licensed reprints form the 
original software, not photocopies.

It was given to me by a contractor that frquents the lumber and hardware store i manage.I have worked on much farm machinery and driven more tractors than i can count but have never owned one before. I say that i own it but i basically handed it over to my brother for him to use since he has more use for it than i do, but it has become a team effort to get it running and i will probably find many uses for it when it is. Now i'm not afraid to tear into anything mechanical, i've rebuilt many automobiles and trucks. My brother and i are really getting into fixing the farmall h up so it can at least run, but i'm having a awful time taking the right brake cover off. When we first went to get the tractor that brake was froze up. After tugging the tractor a few feet it broke loose and then the wheel moved freely. We have removed the brake rod actuator arm from the cam pin and unbolted the cover expecting it to come off. It didn't. After heating up the cover around the pin to cherry red and prying and swearing it didn't budge.I got a little more aggresive with it with a bigger bar and got the pin to move some out of the differential case some which allowed me the chance to inspect inside the cover. It's full of rust. the only way i can see getting the cover off is to remove the brake band, cover and pin all at the same time with alot of prying and penetrating oil. Has anyone else been through this delema before? Does this seem like a reasonable thing to do? suggestions from anybody are more than welcome. Tom Hudon in Crown Point New York.
