Purchased the tractor 3 years ago and operated it in an "as is" condition. Great running tractor so I decided to repair "sticking" left brake and pulled it apart. The boss spline was seized on the axle shaft and I was able to remove it from the axle by applying some heat to the boss spline.
The brake part surfaces and teeth do not show damage / wear. The cam brake moves freely. I need guidance on the "sticking" root cause.
The boss spline does not freely slide on the axle shaft. I am suspecting there may be a slight twist in the axle causing the boss spline to be immovable.
Any guidance is most appreciated. Thanks!
