Brake Repair Tool For Ford Tractors
Brake Repair Tool For Ford Tractors“The brake drum housings on Ford 9N and
2N tractors are a common source of leaking.
The fluid leaks on the brakes, causing them
to fail,” says Dan Gingell of J&D Productions.
“The problem is that replacing that seal
was always a major repair until Tisco came
out with its Sure Seal, which goes right over
the old seal.”
Gingell, who runs a Massey dealership in
Metamora, Mich., says it solves the problem,
but you need a way to put the Sure Seal in
place. He came up with a simple solution
that he uses at his dealership and shows to
customers.
The brake repair tool is made from a 3-in.
dia. piece of schedule 40 PVC pipe, 28 in.
long; a 3-in. cap; and a 3-in. reducer. The
parts are glued together. The Sure Seal fits
over the tool and then the tool is used to push
it into place.
Gingell has also produced a Ford brake repair
video that shows in detail how to repair
the brakes on older Ford tractors, one of the
biggest weak points on those otherwise reliable
chore tractors. Gingell, along with his
wife, Jennifer, produces a full line of tractor
repair videos that have been featured in
FARM SHOW.
Gingell sells the Sure Seal by mail (part
#TC SS92) for $9.95 plus $3 S&H. If you
don’t want to make the tool yourself, he’ll
provide that for $15 plus S&H..
