| Our 220 brakes work about the same as if I was to reach out and push a 2x4 against the rear tires. One of them does act somewhat like a brake when going backwards. It is not a travel issue, free play is set to spec, just no brakes. On the average what I am I going to get into fixing them? Just rust clean up and linings? or major bucks? No oil weeping so I assume no problems that way. Just wondering what to budget for fixing them, Thanks. |

Butch it just occurred to me that your 220 "investment" really is just is like your 401K investments where you contribute a certain amount of your paycheck each month toward it. LOL! Mike

The discs can get hardended from the heat. Ive taken the discs out and used a sanding disc on a side grinder and lightly sand the "hardened" surface away to get to new material. Seems to help, dont sand away to much and use a mask and have plenty of ventilation. good luck. |

210 and 220 brakes are notorious for wear. I'm not sure what the engineers were thinking on this one. Anyway, I went with Kevlar coated Discs on my 210 from Southbend Clutch Company, Southbend, IN. about 6 or 7 years ago. They were very knowledgeable people and easy to work with. The discs were not cheap, but they were less expensive than repalcements from AGCO and they are very durable. |

| I had same problem with mine. For years I let the front dozier blade do the stopping but found that a little hard on blacktop roads at much speed. I have sanded on mine a couple of times and found it to last for a short time. When I decided to restore mine in June I bit the bullit and purchased the new pads from AGCO at a little over $300 per side. Much much better now. Really pretty easy to work on if wheels are not set in to close. Clean everything good while your in there. Doyle |
