How To Keep Disc Brakes On Super "M" Tractors
Bob Batteen, Box 401, Urbana, Iowa 52345: "In a recent issue of FARM SHOW someone complained that the disc brakes on their Super "M" and Super "MTA" tractors don't last very long. Maybe this idea will help. Whenever you're replacing the brakes on these tractors, be sure to clean all rust, etc. The reason is that the brake housing butts up against the brake drum, which butts up against the transmission housing. So make sure these surfaces are super clean. Then apply a thin coat of gasket maker to all the surfaces and reassemble everything. The brakes should be set according to instructions in the operator's manual, and new boots should be installed. My Super "MTA" is a loader tractor and it sets outside all year long, yet the last time I installed new brakes was four years ago."
