Tractors really don't need brakes, you control the speed by throttle and clutch, only really needed on down hills. The right side sort of works.

Wow, how can somebody install a seal like this. No wonder the axle is leaking.

Your readers aren't on crooked enough.... whomever installed it obviously had smudges on their glasses, but it looks good from 52nd street (it's a NYC saying).
You need them to turn sometimes if you pulling hard.

That's why you have a left and a right brake that can be pressed independently of each other. I'm no experienced tractor guy, but I read alot.
Or a lot of front weight.

I believe the brake shoes are original, I may have to splurge for new shoes, I really don't want to open this thing up again. I will evaluate the right side separately.

I'd replace them. Replace the seals, put new shoes in, and forget about it.

Yup. Ordered. I have to do one side at a time otherwise the tractor cannot be supported or stable when on the jack and stand. Also, the right side has hydraulics to deal with, both brakes and the hydraullics have to be dealt with at the same time.

Making progress, one side brake and axle seal done. Took the seat off because right side has hydraulics and issues along with brake and seal. 1 wheel spinout bracket is still being worked on and wheel rim is getting paint. Next step is to finish the left side so I can turn the tractor around (engine off not to run a dry pump) and pull the right wheel off.
First broken bolts I had were for the seat, I was able to drill out and clean the threads.

Fine work!! So good to see it so clean.

There is another D10 at a local auction, I went to look at it to take pictures. Met another guy with a D10 looking at it, I am not interested in buying it but it was funny to find another person with one.
Fuel line.

Fuel tank is gravity feed on the front, these are all hydraulic lines.

Dropped the hydraulic cylinders off for repair, next I need to get the lines off and then reseal the hydraulic controls. But before I can complete it I need to replace the right shoes and grease seal.
Just saying fuel line should be metal & run behind air cleaner.

Gotcha, yup. I am fighting some rust flakes in the tank, I put a big magnet under the tank to attract the particles. Having a rubber line makes it easy to unscrew the filter housing if needed.

It is metallic. I tried de rusting it, hard to find a shop that can boil a tank out.
