E break noise I think?

[Dan Lamb]

Hey guys ,
I am hearing a noise coming from my L rear tire wheel area , when I first got my tractor I left the E break on more than I would admit but it the noise is in sync with wheel rotation and I am working in a very dusty environment. Should I take wheel off for inspection and cleaning , any advise would be appreciated, Dan

You can try blowing the dust our of the area but dust may have gotten into the brake area and it's possible you'll have to disassemble the brake to quiet the noise. Of course you can check your brake for wear at that time. (Lacking an indicator I find it easy to forget to release the parking brake, too.)

Does the 00 series have a dry brake or wet brake setup?

I wonder if it was just a stone caught up in the hub area?

Hey guys,
That darn squeek is back , it is a wet break system , I looked in my book and it is very vague on explaining, can anyone with any experience with this please explain what I'm iooking for , thanks guys any help would be greatly appreciated, Dan

The reason I asked for what type of brake it had, is because the wet brakes don't usually make any noise, unless something bad is happening inside. Dry brakes, however, could possibly be dragging and make some noise, but then again, it's not the case.

Have you tried to lift the tractor with a jack and move the wheel around by hand to see if you spot something obvious?

Does the squeak change when you apply the brake? Have you checked that the lug nuts are tight?

Go tighten all of your lug nuts. Check for "egged out" holes on the wheel hub. They already may be damaged. There is nothing wrong with your BRAKES. They are not BREAKS. If you have multi piece wheels check all of the bolts and nuts that hold them together as well.
