I have a MF 250. the right break locked up. I drained out the water and let it sit a week thinking it needed lubricant to be level. since the new tire had It un level. I'm trying to figure out what kind of breaks I have and how to fix it. the manual is un clear since I don't know much about tractors. I've had it for about 8 years. I use it for putting in rolls of hay to the animals and planting / fertilizing fields. My research tells me not to move it or I can risk busting the housing. I'm ok with that it is parked. However while draining the water the petal came back up and the breaks un stuck during the process. thinking it was fixed I used it to put out fertilizer. I didn't go half an hour and both breaks are squealing leaving a small one inch trench on the ground at the outer edge. the oil started shooting out of the dip stick hole before I got it to the house. I cant pull it with the truck cause I cant drive both at the same time, I have no one to help me and the truck is in the shop. So now I want to try and fix her. I've got till September when its time to put in rye grass again. I have some knowledge of basic tools and how to use them. I have a small air compressor and some basic tools along with several cheater/breaker bars. I'm guessing it don't have disk breaks and their not out by the tires it appears. It looks as if the breaks are in the middle of the rear casing near the PTO. However are they wet or dry. How do I tell before I tear into this thing so as to have parts for repair on hand. How do I know if it is an orchard model or not. I bough her second hand. I need all the help I can get. Is this something I can do. I replaced the wheel bearing on my truck and that didn't seam to hard at all. I think lifting and stabilizing the axel will be the hardest part of the hole thing. I need to change the fluids every year I just learned. I know my serial number both to the tractor and the Perkins 3cyl diesel.
