@jonjebus: With the fender now off of our 1967 International 2504 industrial tractor we can move forward with unobstructed views. First we’ll brush away some of the loose debris so it doesn’t make its way into the brake housing. Then we’ll remove the footrest for easier access to the nuts on the control rod (or pushrod). Next we’ll just loosen up the lock nut and adjustment nut for now. Then the bolts for the brake housing cover can be removed. The bottom bolt is pretty corroded which means something is very wrong inside the housing. Also, we met some rogue salamanders that were looking for a place to hibernate over the winter!
