SUBSCRIBE: tinyurl.com/SparkleFarm While we have the Ford 1700 Backhoe apart, we're checking out the rear brake that wasn't working. Luckily, it seems like all it needed was a good cleaning.
It’s helping me a lot! I have a 1900. Left rear wheel is jammed. I wasn’t sure where to look for break and how it was set. Now I know how to check! Thank for your video!
Thanks! Wondered what was behind the secret door (cover) on the brakes and plan to tackle this on my 1210. But on my 1210, the linkage on both sides was already fully adjusted to its max to where the threaded rod interferes with the linkage if I were to go any tighter. However the drum and the pads have plenty of meat left of them. So I trimmed 1/2" off of the right-hand-threaded end to create some clearance. Also my brake covers had no gasket. So I used some RTV to seal them up. Had a lot of rust dust in the drums and shoe assemblies. And I had to lubricate the lever bushings.
Your video helped tremendously. I had just bought a 1510.... Previous owner neglected to tell me the brakes were none existent. Found that out when i tried loading it on the trailer. I'll definitely try the adjustments first.... But at least i know what I'm getting into, if i do have to go further. Yours was the ONLY video I've found that covers brakes.
Sadly, doesn't seem like it was all that well cared for. Looks like you are doing a good job. Good news is those tractors are little tanks and when you do get everything done right on it you'll get years of service from that machine. God Bless!
@@rushedscheduledfun3963 I didn't have to remove the tire or the fender wall. The break assembly came out very easily. I wanted to make a video, but at 98⁰ out, it was nearly impossible lol
Great video but please be careful. The original brake parts of the 1970s and 80s Ford tractors have asbestos (per the parts manual) and the New Holland site where you can check the all the parts diagrams and lists for the Ford tractors and you should be using minimum an N95 mask and gloves and vacuum everything with an HEPA filter before replacing the parts. Cheers.
If these tractors set up for a while the condensation builds up in the brake hub area and rust forms behind the pad and the glue fails on today's aftermarket versions. Clean and fresh hydraulic fluid helps delay this issue which is common. New pads are much thicker than the ones you're working with.
