Brake Repair Tool For Ford Tractors
"The brake drum housings on Ford 9N and 2N tractors are a common source of leaking. The fluid leaks on the brakes, causing them to fail," says Dan Gingell of J&D Productions. "The problem is that replacing that seal was always a major repair until Tisco came out with its Sure Seal, which goes right over the old seal."
  Gingell, who runs a Massey dealership in Metamora, Mich., says it solves the problem, but you need a way to put the Sure Seal in place. He came up with a simple solution that he uses at his dealership and shows to customers.
  The brake repair tool is made from a 3-in. dia. piece of schedule 40 PVC pipe, 28 in. long; a 3-in. cap; and a 3-in. reducer. The parts are glued together. The Sure Seal fits over the tool and then the tool is used to push it into place.
  Gingell has also produced a Ford brake repair video that shows in detail how to repair the brakes on older Ford tractors, one of the biggest weak points on those otherwise reliable chore tractors. Gingell, along with his wife, Jennifer, produces a full line of tractor repair videos that have been featured in FARM SHOW.
  Gingell sells the Sure Seal by mail (part #TC SS92) for $9.95 plus $3 S&H. If you don't want to make the tool yourself, he'll provide that for $15 plus S&H..
