1972 580ck brakes

[slimfin]

I found a post by Phill from 5-2010 about a parking brake. It shows a lever that sets the brake on the floorboard. Do all the machines (1972 580 case) have this lever? My left rear tire is locked up and I was hoping this was the reason.

I would bet the discs in the left side is stuck to the brake housing. Mine freezes up every winter lately, did not used to do that. When you take the brake housing off, take all the bolts out except the one that just about lines up with the center of the rear axle. then you should be able to get the brake housing out and off and figure out what is stuck.. Not too bad of a job, takes me a couple of hours, but I am not too fast.

Thanks Orville I was hoping that I could find an easy fix.

Thats not that bad of a job the two bolts that have a nut on the end. You have to remove the bolt from the tractor then you can wiggle the piece out of there. the rod that goes into the housing just needs the two nuts taken off the end so that comes out all in one piece. What I tried to explain is most likely as clear as mud, but good luck.

Thanks I will try when I get back off the mountain.
