I am a tractor rookie so please forgive this dumb question. Do the brakes on a Super C require fluid? If so, what type of fluid and where on the tractor do I put it?

It's tempting to think of fluid when you hear "disk brakes" but, like a lot of things with these old machines we love, it's a fairly simple and modestly elegant mechanical set up. Instead of fluid filling pistons to push pads against a disk as on cars, the rod from the pedal to the brake disk housing causes two heavy disks to push away from the center where they are joined. When they expand they press two brake disks (they look like small clutch disks) outward, one away from the tractor that presses against the inside of the housing, the inner one presses against a fitting that is flush with the plane of the transmission housing itself. Both left and right are set up like this. Instead of a friction disk biting a turning power source as with a clutch to a flywheel, you get braking by pressing turning friction disks against stationary steel. Are yours not working OK?

Thanks for the info. No, mine are not working very well. I assume this is a repair job for a professional.

most disc brakes get glazed i the assy apart cleav the balls and light oil then take the discs and hit them with a sanding disc give them a half turn so they are in reverse put them back on and most of the time you will have brakes that are excellent

Actually, it's not too bad a job. It's pretty much a wrench operation, though you may need to soak some of the bolts on the housing to get everything free, especially on the lower bolts. Once you have it open, it's just a matter of cleaning things up. Do that outdoors with a mask of some sort! As long as the seals aren't leaking oil into the works you can replace the disks with relined or new, check out the steel balls that spread things out to create the braking pressure and clean up or replace. Before you take anything apart, though, I'd strongly suggest you get the operator's manual from Binder or another vendor. It has the details on how to adjust the brake linkage, which may be all you need in the first place, and will be necessary to adjust things properly if you do take them apart. Good Luck!

The disk brakes on the Farmalls are easy to work on. You can do it yourself. Probably only need relined or new disks and maybe new balls and some polishing of the ball tracks. A clutch brake rebuild shop can probably reline the disks for you.
