@jonjebus: The cover for the brakes on this 1967 International 2504 industrial tractor is coming off. First the control rod needs to be fully disconnected. Then it’s just a matter of pulling the cover off. It looks like the steel plates are pretty corroded and there is a lot of brake dust build-up within the assembly which is mixed with oil. The first brake pad doesn’t look very good either. The surfaces are glazed and it’s covered in oil. In fact, there’s oil just about everywhere. It seems the shaft seal may have gone bad and hydraulic oil is leaking onto the brakes which is definitely not good at all. So, it’s looking like we’ll need to replace that seal on top of everything else that we’ll need to do.
