JD 5310 brake ques

[bird dog]

I looked at a 1999 JD 5310 today that had a collar shift. The tractor has been sitting up for around 3 years. Everything worked fine except when you pressed in the clutch while driving, it stopped abruptly. I thought the emergency brake was on but the man said it didn't have one and I didn't see a lever. So tell me with this type of transmission when you put it into the park position does this apply a brake and maybe that brake has frozen up or what is going on? Would the brake freeze up from just sitting? While driving it doesn't seem to be dragging but may be and if you mash on the breaks it stops normally.

Thanks

When u put it in park no it doesn't apply the brakes. It works kinda like a automatic transmission in a car. Has far as it stopping when u put the cluch in not sure

I have a 5210 collar shift and when you put it in park that is your brake when stopped. You come to a complete stop before putting into park. Just pressing in the clutch shouldn't stop it. There has been instances when people I am sure jammed it into park without stopping first and maybe broke something.

It seems they have some trouble w the brake retractors. A little research should turn up a way to diagnos and repair. Wish I could help some more but I can't.

when those tractors sit a long time the brakes can rust. you just pull the axles and sand them off.

Some older tractors have a clutch brake that acts on the shaft after the clutch plate. It is interlinked with the linkage on the clutch pedal. The idea is it slows the shaft down after disengaging the clutch to make it easier to mesh the selected gear. If the interlink is not adjusted correctly then it comes into play too early and will slow you down.

Thats what I was kinda wondering about with these collar shift tractors. I thought since you have to come to a complete stop to shift, the clutch might be tied to a brake to get you stopped quicker.
Thanks everyone for your replies

Thanks diesel for the link to the thread on the other site. I was going to be out bid on the one I looking at if I allowed for the repair so I have passed on it. It was a good machine other than that. I was afraid I didn't have the knowledge or the proper shop and equipment to get it done my self. Thanks again for everyone's help.
