340 utility brakes

wegge · Dec 4, 2010

I have a 1960 International 340 Utility gas and am going to put on new brakes. When I pulled the brake discs off seems to be a lot of oil on these. Does the shaft for the brakes have a seal that can be replaced from the outside or is it internal? It is a five speed tranmission with no TA also the clutch doesn't seem to disengage all the way sometimes. I have adjusted the clutch all the way can't go any farther hits housing now when depressed fully. I also removed the inspection plate and greased the fitting on the through out bearing carrier. Any other tricks to try.

I have a 1958 340 row crop,I have not done the breaks yet but I will be very soon because my left one is shot. I have done a complete double split to replace everything inside the clutch case. Mine has a TA. Installing a new 10 1/5 inch main clutch and release bearing is not hard, it's just a lot of unbolting, because EVERYTHING has to come off in order to split the clutch housing from the motor. You will be glad you did.

Yes, there is an oil seal on the shaft. If it leaks, the discs become saturated with oil. I replaced mine and the brakes work fine. With some patience and luck, you can remove and replace the seal without removing the shaft. good luck!
