Backhoe brake repair

I have a 675D Ford New Holland hoe and can't figure out how to repair the brakes.

The brake system is a linkage system with a balls and two plate wedge inside the axle housings. The brake pedal is pushed and the different linkages tighten up to the adjuster link. You will see at the axle housings facing the engine a small adjuster rod, the rod comes thru a boot seal ( holds the fluid in the rear end ) if wet or cracked check your rear end fluid ASAP, it will have two nuts at the end of that rod. Loosen the outside nut and tighten the inner to tighten the brakes on each side. Check the pedal height and braking as needed. You should raise the machine up to turn each wheel to make sure you don't have drag when pedal is released. The fords had a nasty habit with the internal disc and plate wear, along with the lining coming off. Like said above to boot leaks, if it's real low or dirty (fluid) you may have lots of wear on the brake system. Try to tighten them up, if there is no adjustment left or the rod is hitting the linkage,the adjustment is all the way up and you have to remove the axle housings to replace the plates and discs. That is a lot of work and some dollars to fix. You can go to the newhollandna site, construction, go to the parts online, type in 675D and go to the brake section, you will see how it works for the most part with the pics. More if needed. I may have told you wrong, believe you loosen the nut and unpin the clevis, then turn it , re pin and check pedal, tighten jam nut when done. Have to look, been a while since i did a ford adjustment on one.
