Thanks for helping me fix my tractor.

Your very welcome. Not sure how I did, but glad I could help.

@fcfarms2945 made the content to show a common problem.

[@mikefrench3800]

Interested in this model so nice hearing about any issues it has. Thanks

[@fcfarms2945]

It is a really good tractor though, have enjoyed using it.

[@user-hp4pd4sc6c]

Hey, just wondering if it ended up being a stuck brake piston? My massey has a sticking rear brake as well and the dealers around here say they have never heard of this problem. Great videos btw!

[@fcfarms2945]

It was, the brake got out of adjustment and piston cocked in bore and stuck

[@user-hp4pd4sc6c]

Thanks. Finding out mine is stuck too the same way, Looks like I'm gonna need to do the same, disassemble and overhaul it.

[@houstonjohnson7703]

you can make that tractor 100hp with aftermarket tuning if you wanted to.

[@fcfarms2945]

Yes there is a few companies that offer tuners to increase hp. I haven't decided if I'm going to do it now or wait till out of warranty.

[@houstonjohnson7703]

@@fcfarms2945 I'd wait till the warranty is out so the dealer can never hold it against you and turn you away. Like my diesel I didn't wait but with the tractor it can be very costly atleast with a truck I can find a local shop to do it. Your limited with tractor stuff. Better safe than sorry

Can you adjust the jamb nut by just removing the black cover?

[@fcfarms2945]

Yes just remove the dome cover and tighten the nut down to adjust the brakes up.

[@fcfarms2945]

Let me know if that helps, thanks for commenting.

[@craigkarwacki1777]

@@fcfarms2945 will do.

[@fcfarms2945]

Yes take the 3 screws out that hold the top cover, back the jam nut off a little and tighten the adjustment nut down. I would press the the brakes and see if feel even before I out the cover back on.
