1976 Volvo BM650

An explanation of how the brakes on the BM650 work and what's likely to go wrong with them.
I'm not a mechanic use the information I have supplied at your own risk, I assume no responsibility for any injury or damage resulting from anything seen or heard in this video.

I have a BM430 they use the same brake design. Its a pain to get off, and even a bigger pain to get on again. But the Volvo tractors were top quality machines and there are alot of them still going

Olssonparts, Ellös, Sweden has your parts to your Volvo BM tractor

Yes I was able to buy a new steering arm but they refuse to ship to Canada so I'm forced to use a service to purchase the parts and then have them shipped here. Parts are prohibitively expensive.

Greetings from South Africa Kowyn, thank you for your video! Most interesting.. I am also the proud owner of a BM650, and I have started fixing things on mine to keep her going strong. Would appreciate if you keep doing these vids - as I am planning to do the same while I am fixing things on mine. As you said - spares are not available (or hellishly expensive..) - so we repair. Best wishes - looking forward to more info-sharing

I do have some other work to do this spring including changing all the oils/fluids and looking into making a DIY external hydraulic three point hitch, I'll film it all.
