22 Brakes

Thanks. I was afraid that the stuck brakes might have prevented the final drive housings from coming off.

Peter when you get the brake bands out and if they are worn down you can buy the brake band material and the rivets from a place called McMasterCarr they have a web page just google it. I had to redo some bands for my Cat Ten hope this helps😊

Unless you are just looking for work try backing out the 2 set screws on each brake band, 1 under the tractor and other stickin out of back case, take the inspectiom cover off and use long punch and hammer to rap the band few times to unstick from drum , just undoing the those 2 bolts.

Before you tear everything down, make sure that the pedals are not stuck to the bracket they pivot on. It took us several days to get the pedals loose on our 22 and several more days to get them to work one pedal at a time.
It was a joy to drive with both brakes at the same time.

I'll second Willie and DM, be sure all the hardware moves before you assume its the brakes...
