Brake replacement

Postby mwilke » Sat Apr 16, 2005 10:29 am

I just started to replace the brakes on my '48 Cub. When I pulled the axle and wheel housing I found the break pads were not too bad but they were full of oil resulitng in no friction to stop tractor. I suppose that oil is from the transmission--not the wheel housing and I will need to replace the axle seals. Other than pulling the right axle houxing, how difficult is it to replace the seals? Thanks in advance for any help.

Dealing with the housings is the worst part of the job. You can use a torch to burn out those linings and they'll be as good as new.

Many times water makes it's way into the tranny and causes it to over fill.

Do what BD says. Hit them with a torch and the oil will be driven off.

The seals being new will help, but there are also O rings on the plate behind them. The setup on the differential shaft is intended to stop splash, not being submerged. correct amount of oil for the trans is 3 1/2 pints. There is a level plug on the left side about in line with the gear shift and fairly low.

You might want to check C&G. My IH dealer could not find a standard thrust bearing (main) for mine and C&G got it to me in four days.

According to the book, that o-ring is 3-1/8 x 3-3/8 x 1/8.
