Hello!
Tractor has been sitting all Winter, yesterday I brought it out to go fuel up and the right brake locked up hard and fast but it would free-up until the next application. I am a 118 lb 67 y/o female so needless to say, I'd rather ask for suggestions on what might be going on before I have to remove a wheel that's nearly as tall as I am and weighs 2 1/2 times more than I do. These are mechanical drum brakes, I have worked on hydraulic drum style, Bendix, Huck, etc many times over the years so I know what I am doing. Any hints on what could be causing the lock-up? Broken shoe retractor spring? Linkage? Oh, the pedals are a little sloppy but I don't think that is the issue, I will tighten up that link rod. Thank you in advance!
