Hi all. First post, thought i'd say hi and ask a few questions. I'm not sure I'm in the right section, but here goes...
My Father-in-law has a Small Fiat tractor. It was bought new in 1971, I am unsure of the actual build date. He says its a Fiat 500. I have searched alot to find there is not much on the 500, but there is on a 445. It looks like a 445, also a 500 in google search. They look very similar.
At the moment i am re-making the accelerator/clutch/brake shaft mechanism and pedal bushes, as 39years with limited grease = alot of wear.:laughing: I am making a whole new shaft, bushes etc.
Now from what he has told me, He said it has not had brakes in years.
When we pulled the rear wheel off to get the pedal shaft out, i was expecting a drum brake of some sort. But No!
Does anyone know how hard to fix they are?
Are they adjustable in the diff/gearbox? or are they in the rear arms somehow?
Does anyone have a diagram on how it works?
I am a complete noob with tractors. However, I'm very mechanical minded so i'm not scared in pulling it apart.
Any answers would be great!
This Fiat is a very similar to what i'm talking about. Even has the original tyres like that pic!! :laughing:
