Must be a design malfunction. This makes 3 in a row. The shaft that goes through the brake cover is froze in the bushing in the cover. The other two tractors were the same way, but I finally managed to free them up. This last one isn't coming loose. Has anyone else had this problem?

Never seen one that won't come off. Simply apply heat with a torch around the shaft on the brake drum. The heat will expand the inside of the hole and you can pop it off. If the bushing stays on the shaft, warm that up some also and pull it off.

F.S. , Heat is usually my last resort to stuck parts, and this rascal has been heated twice. Last time was just short of melting the bushing. I guess this cover is going to servive as wall mart chinese coat hangers, or some other china junk. ken

No it's not a design malfunction. It's from letting them sit outside in the weather all these years. Remember the Tin Man?

Yep, your probqably right Cowman. Sixty years in the rain oughta do it. Its still frustrating though. Steel shaft through a brass bushing-won't turn, no way, no how. Won't press out, no way, no how. I did manage to save the adjuster shaft with the spring thing. Learned how easy they break with the first tractor.

Uh-Oh back up ther one second kfox "I did manage to save the adjuster shaft with the spring thing. Learned how easy they break with the first tractor." I start my FIRST 'H' brake job next week on my 44. Can you expand a little on this one please. I'll take any advice on brakes for that matter.

The brake adjuster is the connection between the brake pedel and the arm on the shaft coming out of the brake housing. My first experience with H brakes was on a 1941 model that had set for a long time. The shaft that operates the brake shoes was frozen in the side of the transmission housing and it took me most of a day to get the cover off, and most of the next day to get the shaft out of the brake cover. After i relined the brake shoes, I needed to adjust the brakes, and the the clevis that is on the end of the threaded shaft(that sticks out of the big spring) broke off of the threaded shaft like it was made out of glass. It appears to be spot welded on, so be careful when you try to turn it. Went to the boneyard and got a replacement and it fell off when I tried to turn it. ken
