to my knowledge this tractor has never been tore down! so when I do it, it sounds almost like a total rebuild of the final drive! Am I correct?

As Dave says, likely the bearings and gears are fine. You will just need the seals and brake bands. Dave suggests replacing just the seals on the differential side. While you have it apart, might as well replace the seals on the final drive side too. Replacing the seals on the final drive side requires pulling the brake drums off the shaft. I've done this several times and have found it's usually not a problem to get the drums off the shaft. There is a set screw and a woodruff key and the fit is not real tight.

No, no rebuild necessary. Most likely replacement of oil seals at differental end of shafts and replacement of brakebands. About $100 to $150 depending on where you get the parts. Do one side at a time and support the tractor under the differental. Right side is the hardest as you need to disasemble the seat and floor pan to get that axle housing off. Ask as you go along if you need more help. This is a common problem so many of us know the ins and outs of it. Dave.

The only adjustment is for the pedal free play. That is done individually on each side with the yoke that is on a threaded rod which works the brakes. If your brakes are weak, the lining on the bands is probably worn out or the linings have oil on them due to leaking shaft seals on the differential/pinion shafts. The brake drums are on the pinion shaft. To get at the brake bands, etc and repair this, you have to remove the final drives from the transmission housing which gives access to the brake mechanism, including the drums and bands. If the linings are not worn too bad, you may be able to get by with just cleaning them up with brake cleaner. If they are soaked with transmission oil, you will need to replace the shaft seal at the transmission housing and the shaft seal behind the brake drum where the shaft goes into the final drive.
