To change the brakes on a Massey Ferguson 50, the first step is to gain access to the tractor. This may require jacking up the tractor, removing the front axle and/or removing the rear axle. Once the tractor has been accessed, the next step is to remove the brakes. The brake drums should be removed first to access the brake pads/shoes, followed by the removal of the spring retaining clips, parking brake and return springs. The brake pads/shoes and brake disc and/or other components will then need to be removed.
The next step is to install the new brakes. This involves installing the new brake pads/shoes, brake disc, and other components. Ensure that any bolts and components are fastened tightly and lubricated per the manufacturer’s instructions. Then, re-install the spring retaining clips, parking brake and return springs. Finally, the brake drums will need to be re-installed and properly torqued per the manufacturer’s instructions. Once the brakes are properly installed, the tractor can be re-assembled and lowered from the jacks. The brakes should now be functioning properly.
