Well between mowing grass and suffering though this heat and humidity humidity is the worst, I been doing a few things on the 58 Country Squire the right brake was not working I figured it was a broke band as this is the usual thing. So last week thought I work on that first removed the wheel wts then got wheel and tire and fender off. Yep I could see the band was broken so removed the assembly and took it apart got the band out and the related linkage found the brake lining was pretty much gone also. Cleaned up the band and clamped it down to weld it looked it over good and figure I had it lined up right so welded it I like to gas weld these it works much better than trying to arc weld them. Went to reassemble the unit and just could not get it back together worked on it gave up for the day next morning I decided to remove a unit from another tractor to see if I could figure out what the deal was finally I seen it when I weld the 2 parts together I got them 180 out so got the hack saw out cut it apart and re welded it reassembled it and this time it went back installed some new brake lining bonded it with JB weld Industrial after letting it bond for 24 hour reinstalled the brake assembly on the tractor and It Works great checked the left brake over the lever didn't want to go to the full release position so I lubed all the pivots and linkage hinges got it pretty good but ended up installing a new return spring. Took the tractor out for a test drive and the brakes will lock up the wheels now all is good
