    Posted: 13 May 2016 at 12:41am
After 4 years working with Allis tractors, I did my first brake repair with a rusted brake pin. 8.5 hrs of work later and its back together and working. I had the brake pin head twist off and one of the seat bracket bolts twist off. I big mouse nest in the housing did not help anything. I had to get under the tractor with a torch to pull the axle out. Jeeezzzz they should of had a better design!! Here's some pics for your enjoyment/amusement :)

I think the design is OK, I doubt they figured it would be years and years before people replaced the brakes.

Congratts Alex!!   As I have said many times before a brake job on one of these (you are only 1/2 done) is the most difficult task there is on one, if the pins don't come right out. BTW before you go near that old WD through some blocking under there, if that jack slips it will come down faster than you can jump out of the way.     Mark

If you don't get some better safety equipment (bottle jack setting on a brittle cement block), you won't be around for the next four years.

Good job and yes, sometimes the fast way is not the easy way.

Yes, they probably expected them to get changed more often, and be stored in a barn also, not in the weather. I didn't use cribbing to support the tractor because I like to live on the edge! Seriously, I will use better support next time, thanks guys.
The mouse probably vacated when I tried welding a nut on the pin, so Im sure he is OK.
