Brake puck/rotor replacement
On transmission used on the 2000 series tractor, the brake pucks are wearing parts that will need to be serviced
from time to time. If the tractor is operated with the parking brake dragging, the pucks will wear out rapidly and the
brake rotor will develop hot spots. If the tractor is operated long enough, the rotor may have grinding marks on it with
excessively worn pucks.
NOTE: The brake pucks and the rotors are serviced at the same time.
To remove/replace the brake pucks and rotor:
1. Lift and safely support the rear of the tractor.
2. Remove the transmission by following the proce-
dures describe in Chapter 5: Drive.
3. Remove the two screws that secure the brake caliper
to the right transmission housing using a 3/8” wrench.
See Figure 3.5.
4. Lift the caliper off of the transmission.
5. Remove the brake disk from the output shaft.
See Figure 3.6.
NOTE: The center flange of the brake disk faces outward.
! CAUTION ! CAUTION
If the rotor shows hot spots or any other signs of damage, including warpage, it must be
replaced. Failure to do so can result in the failure of the brakes
