Since my MF 202 has a little braking power, I am attempting to do a brake job. I am having problems removing the drums, which I assume they haven't been removed for the last 100 years. I made the turn wheel adjustment so that the drums turn freely, removed the two slotted screws, hit it with the hammer every which way… still no budging.
I noticed there are two 3/8" (?) threaded holes on the face of the drums, which I assume is a place for a puller. I haven't done that yet. I am also wondering, if heat has to be applied, where you would direct the flame… in the vicinity of the lug bolts? I would rather not do the heat job if I don't have to.
It doesn't appear to be an oil leak so the shoes should be pretty dry.
I would really appreciate some suggestions.
BTW, are tractor brakes more sluggish than non-power conventional car brakes, or are they more compatible to car hand brakes?
