Has anybody changed brakes without removing the fuel tank? I have always removed the tank but this time I don't want to disturb the paint if I don't have to. Thanks Tad

That tractor must still be as shiny as the day you painted it Tad

Yes, you can roll the brake bands out without removing the tank on the dry clutch machines. I know I did it once, can't really remember the details anymore, the jobs all run together after a while...

Sad to say Mactractor the finish is not what it used to be, to much California sunshine and Tisco paint, but a bit of elbow grease and several bottles of "Nu Finish" and it comes back, not to it's former glory but a passable vision of what it used to be. The paint is faded and oxidized but not marked up at all and I would like to keep it that way.

Thanks Lazyts for the info, I think that this is one of those jobs that you only do once and learn a very valuable lesson, especially with the hydraulic pump right in the way of everything. I am going to make a run at it and see what happens. I only need to do the Left side, I bought the last two sets of OEM linning that Fresno Tractor had, I hope that they are the right ones, $150 per side for NOS new aftermarket replacement was more than double that

Who has more fun on AC tractors, especially if both brakes work

Thanks Tad Wicks

This is what it looks like with a bit of elbow grease. I have since installed a fuel pressure gauge in the open hole in the dash, an air cleaner vacuum gauge, headlights to fill the holes in the grill and most recently I am rebuilding the hydraulic control levers, they were in bad shape, one not usuable because of a broken spool but much better now, two control valves, I won't know what to do.
