A friend of mine wants me to fix their Ford 3000 tractor. They said the right brake wasn't working. I looked at it and pulled the little observation plug in the brake drum and quickly saw the problem - all oily in there. They should be dry.
So, my question is, what is causing the leak? I'm thinking an inner axle seal?
If so, is there anything else I will need to replace when I pull the axle. What about the outer seal? Any tips on pulling the axle?
I'm the type to usually just tear into something and figure out what's wrong, but in this case I need to have everything ready before I go pick it up because they are using it a lot so it needs to be a quick repair.
Any help appreciated - thanks in advance!
