Right wheel has breaks again...

[Jeff-oh]

I am getting ready for a Hay ride this weekend, and a few weeks ago I noticed my left wheel would lock up while there was no breaking on the right side.

Last night I pulled the wheel and break drum. The pads look good as does the drum (only a little old grease build up). Fitted it all back together and adjusted the shoes per the shop manual. Now the wheel stops and holds nicely.

As a reminder I have a TE-20 and the hardest part of adjusting the breaks was jacking up the back end. (my 3 pt. tractor jack is 60 miles away)

I use a regular 2-ton car jack that I put ontop of a chuck of wood and jack the rear up right in the middle works great. And where is your grease build up coming from? When I first got mine it was loaded with Grease.
