?? on my ford 1520 brakes.

When I hit the brakes, the pedal wants to stay down, they do not spring back like I think they should They hold good, no noticable grinding. I have greased all the linkages and checked the spring all is good. I can take my foot and pull the pedal back up, and all is good. I just recently acquired it, trying to work out all the bugs and get it working properly again.. Also need a new headlight lens. Where can I find one reasonablly priced or are there online junkyards where I can acquire a headlight?

I always had good luck with Fawcett's Tractor Supply (not to be confused with the chain store.) They have a pretty decemt supply of previously enjoyed equipment, with a fairly updated inventory on their web page. Just do a google search for them, they're in Canada just opposite Noagara Falls, but they will ship as well.

The brake actuator rod is probably partially siezed in the brake cover, and/or the shoe return springs are weak or broken.
Don't buy used springs, you already have a set.

Thanks for the replies, Does anybody have a schematic of the brake parts? I'm not sure of what is what. I am by no means a rookie to the wrenches. I am however a rookie to working on and understanding, my newly acquired tractor.
