Thanks all for the suggestions.<br>
<br>
I am not sure this tractor has ever had the brakes worked on during
it life on the farm it came from, so it should be interesting.<br>
<br>
When I take it apart, documenting what goes where, patience, Kroil,
and an acetylene torch (which I do not have yet) should help the job
along. Finding additional repair parts as/if needed may be a
challenge, but will worry about that when the time comes. (And I am
probably overthinking it also... :o). <br>
<br>
I have worked on JD equipment before, but that was back in the 70's
when I was in HS working at the local JD dealer.<br>
<br>
Now to make more room in the garage to work on it...<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Howard<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Wish I could help. I’ve never owned or done
M brakes. Dubuque manufactured tractors sometimes can be
quite different from Waterloo built tractors. So I hesitate to
talk about my experiences with them. They can be a real PITA
if they have rusted shafts. If stuck I use an acetylene torch
to get them loose. Patience, a vice , a big pipe wrench, a big
hammer and heat in some combination will break things loose.

<p class="MsoNormal">I have a John Deere M that will finally be
repairing the brakes on shortly.<br>
<br>
Any pointers or things to look at specific to this tractor I
should keep an eye out for? I do have the JD shop manual for
the tractor.<br>
<br>
Currently I have the replacement brake linings and the seals
for the output shaft from the transmission on hand, not sure
what else might be a problem, at least until I get into it.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
