Description
If you’ve been fighting a hand brake that grabs unevenly or barely holds on a slope, chances are the wear plate inside the brake drum has done its job for the last time. This critical component takes all the friction and heat when you set the brake, and after years of holding tractors on hills and stopping them on farm roads, even the toughest steel eventually wears thin.
What You’re Getting
- Precision-fit steel plate engineered to original specifications
- Heat-treated surface that resists scoring and premature wear
- Exact thickness for proper brake shoe clearance and full contact
- Direct replacement that restores proper hand brake function
Built for Real Farm Work
This wear plate fits the legendary Fordson Major and Super Major tractors that built their reputation on British farms and around the world. Whether you’re using your Major for hay work, cultivation, or general farm duties, these tractors often work on slopes and uneven ground where a reliable hand brake isn’t just convenient—it’s essential for safety.
Made to Last
Farm work means your hand brake sees regular use, from holding the tractor while you open gates to keeping it secure during PTO work. This wear plate is manufactured from quality steel that handles the repeated friction cycles and heat buildup that comes with agricultural use.
Installation Notes
Replacing the wear plate requires splitting the rear end to access the brake drum assembly. While you’re in there, it’s smart to inspect the brake shoes and springs for wear. A little anti-seize compound on the mounting bolts makes future service easier.
