Iowa Trapper Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 Howdy all, I am rebuilding the brake assembly on my Farmall 706. I have fully disassembled the brakes and ready to put a new seal kit and brake disks on. The farthest rear plate with your hydraulic inlet had sealer around the inside surface. In my workshop manual I can not find any information regarding this sealer or if it is necessary. Before I put something like a thin layer of sealer for weather proofing I would like to ask if this is required or something a previous owner had added. This sealer had a very thin almost gelatin like feel to it when I took it off. Thanks Photos of reference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HydroTek Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 Oring around the outside does the sealing -- likely someone put cheap silicone on there -- you want to use the gray if any at all Clean those surfaces up as best you can -- and the shims Get some spacers for your bolts and bolt the inner plate on -- so you can check the bearing pre-load I would do this after you clean everything -- leave the seal off at this time -- since you will be removing the housing if the shims are wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think this is early. Pinion shims on inside. No shims on this plate. Can't remember for sure. Don't think there is an oring groove. Could be wrong just Can't remember for sure. Anyway something needs to seal that plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snoshoe Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 Should be an earlier thread addressing this. 2019-2020 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iowa Trapper Posted September 23 Author Share Posted September 23 Yep there are no shims on the plate. I just finished reassembling the right side of my brakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
