Brake Pedal Shaft

David Goode · Nov 15, 2008

After locating a new clutch pedal and brake pedal shaft for my '52 Super M I have encountered a new problem with the new shaft. The Woodruff key slots on the NEW shaft do not align as to install the left brake pedal and brake actuator. I inspected the new shaft against the old shaft when it first arrived yet failed to notice that the woodruff slots where off by about 45 degrees, as to not allow the brake actuator to "lock" with the shaft. I have Emailed Yesterdays tractors about the problem and am awaiting response on what to do with the new shaft. Has anybody else had this problem? I had to fix the brake oil seals in the transmission while I was doing this fix to and drained and refilled the transmission with new oil after I installed the new seal and brake shaft, needed to possible remove the new shaft will I have to drain the transmission again, and how low can I drain it so as to just to remove that shaft? Are their any other possible fixes? Any response is much appreciated.

Had the same problem with my 52 Super M. The shaft from this site is milled wrong. They were aware of this problem 4 weeks ago. You can get one from Easy Bob"s Tractor Parts. It was $43.65 plus shipping. The shaft has two key slots on that end. This site should take it back with no restocking charge.

The cheapest thing to do if YT does not have the correct shaft may be to have a machine shop cut new slots. I have a shaft ordered from OEM Tractor Parts for a 460, I hope it is correct. I imagine OEM made the shaft you have, as they supply several companies with their products. Another alternative is that YT refunds your money and you have a shaft made at a local machine shop.

Forgot to mention that you shoulden't need to drain any of the fluid if you have the new seals in. I had to pull my shaft for another problem and no oil came out and the transmission was full to the top.

That doesn't make much sense. Wouldn't that shaft leave two holes in the transmission? Unless it is seated so high as to it being above the oil level? Thanks for the information, hopefully that makes this fix much easier.

Yup, above

I think the check level plug on the left side of trans housing is slightly below the holes for the shaft, drain it to that level if it is overfull.

I would like to thank all for the help and advice recieved. This sounds like simple fix once I can obtain a shaft that has been milled correctly. This is not the first time I have had promblems with reproduction parts. Have been working on a 8N, needed a complete engine rebuild with new valves. ONly after I put the head on after the engine was rebuilt and checked compression I noticed that it had 0 compression in one cylinder, turns out the new exaust valve was bent when I put it in. I recall it went in tougher then the others but didn't think much of it. And I also orderd a new manifold for the SM, only to find the holes were .1" to small, luckely I was able to drill them out with a drill press. What has happend to quality parts?

Most are made overseas. If the your shaft was indeed from OEM Tractor Parts, they made it and made a mistake (not the first time). I am eager to get mine and see if it is correct. Any good machine shop can make a shaft, but many overseas parts are incorrect. I made the mistake of combining a aftermarket intake manifold with a CaseIH supplied exhaust manifold on my 460 (or vice versa, don't remember). They did not match. they both have to come from the same supplier. Messed one up trying to enlarge the holes with a drill press -- $$$.
