MF202 Brake System Help Required

delimacailloux@gmail.com · Oct 29, 2016

I bought this wonderful MF202 and paid a fortune at the dealer to have some issues fixed but I would like to be independant but no one offer help in my area.

I have no brake when I press. Where is located the master cylinder on it, can someone tell me please. I have a service manual and have no reference on brakes in it.

Thanks in advance fora l your help.

Not familiar with MF 202 specifically, but 2 suggestions- 1) post this on the MF board, and 2)it probably doesn't have a master cylinder like automobiles- most tractors of that vintage just have mechanical brakes on the back, and its easy to trace the linkage from the pedal to the rear. Find the adjustment point, and take up the slack- if you've still got no brakes, time to get inside the mechanism at the rear hubs and figure out the problem. A parts manual is the most helpful in these situations- you can see how everything goes together and works.

Brake system is mechanical and not hydraulic therefore no master cylinder.Maybe a seal leak that allowed oil to get on brakes.

Ted In NE OH has it right: mechanical brake system, no master cylinder. The next post had a good idea, try adjusting the linkage. If that doesn't work, Ted might be right again. Mine turned out to be worn brake shoes AND bad axle seals allowing oil to leak on the brakes. A good, old-school brake shop relined my shoes for not much money. If you're not up for replacing the axle seals (the old must be cut off and the new heated and put precisely in place), then consider having a shop do all of it. Highly reccomend you purchase operators, service, and parts manuals. Great tractor, enjoyed mine since bought and rebuilt in 2004. P.S. if your tires are fluid filled, be sure you know what you're doing removing those dangerously heavy buggers if you decide to inspect/repair yourself.

should be a EZ fix most likely they need adjustment under each axle close to the diff.should be a threaded rod coming out of a rubber boot with two nuts turn the inner one in till you get peddle use the other one to lock the first nut

The brakes are mechanical worked by shafts, and rods.
