Hi,
I have an issue with the brakes on my 1965 Massey Ferguson 35. The brakes work very well and are able to lock the wheels with medium pedal pressure, but after releasing them, they often continue to drag moderately. A short run in reverse releases them. Bouncing my foot on the pedals sometimes releases them. There is ample free play in the pedals. The springs and linkages inside the drum have been greased and the issue improved but didn't stop.
My feeling is that the springs are not strong enough to draw the shoes back in away from the drums, but as the springs and linkages appear fine, I can't understand why.
Thoughts?
