jd highcrop 70 brakes

[tall german]

I had a JD highcrop 70 for a while and the right brake turned forward instead of backward instead of backwards like all the other 2 cylinder JD's. Why is that?

Goes on the other side. You might have 2 that are for the same side.

PROBABLY due to the drop box ends next to the wheel, does not matter long as they work.

In the John Deere 70 High Crop, the brake units are driven by a chain mechanism. Unlike standard tractors where the brake drums are driven by a gear set, the JD 70 High Crop utilizes a chain to connect the drive shaft to the brake drums. This design results in the brake drums rotating in the opposite direction compared to non-high crop models. I finally found the answer on the internet. Mystery solved.
