I was working on removing the brakes on my F-30 today and I can't seem to pull the drum off. I have made a puller up and it seems to be pushing the pinion shaft into the housing instead of pulling the drum off. I have been tapping with a hammer all the way, when I quit I left quite a bit of pressure on it to see what happens overnight. If anyone has any advice I would appreciate it as I am trying to do this without breaking everything. Thanks BT

I am somewhat unsure of how the F-30 brakes work. I know they are different from the F-12 but for what it's worth I ran into a similiar situation when the former owner of the F-12 I bought, delivered it to my place. The brakes were frozen, an item the former owner had somehow mysteriously neglected to mention. We had to winch it down the ramp and when it hit the driveway the spiked wheels really dug in. I remember how concerned I was that night and wondered how I was ever going to get access to my garage again. There is a lot more to the story, but at any rate I was looking at having to pry the drum off and destroy the brakes in the process. I was quite new at it and consequently stress levels were running high. As it turned out the solution was rather simple. The tractor must have sat for a very long time. The left side brakes retracted as they should when I released the brake lever and I could see how they worked. The right side however was quite rusty and when it did not release I was alarmed to say the least. I forget the exact linkage part but after some hand wringing and much staring at the frozen brake, it occurred to me that while the spring was not going to return the linkage to the release position, there was a particular rusty shaft that all this was attached to that I could place a pair of channel locks on and rotate the way it should turn but that the spring wasn't strong enough to move given all the rust. It turned rather easily and the brakes released much to my relief. I don't know exactly how the F-30 brake linkage works but I wonder if there is not some point which you can access and which you can turn in simiiar fashion and either aid or temporary supersede the action of whatever spring should be doing the job. Best of luck to you. Let us know how it turns out.

If the shoes are rusted to the drum you probably will break something. I don't know any other way. The shoes will break first so you should be able to save the drum. The worst part is they are expensive to replace.
