Description
When you’re working those steep hillsides or backing up to the barn with a loaded wagon, your brakes better work when you need them. This brake shoe retracting spring is what keeps your brake shoes in the proper position, ready to grip when you press that pedal. If you’ve noticed your brakes dragging, pulling to one side, or just not feeling right, a worn retracting spring might be the culprit.
What You’re Getting
- Proper spring tension keeps brake shoes positioned correctly for smooth operation
- Made from quality spring steel that won’t fatigue or break under normal use
- Direct replacement for the original Ford part—no modifications needed
- Essential component for maintaining safe, reliable braking performance
Built for Real Farm Work
This spring is designed for Ford N-series tractors including the popular 8N models that have been workhorses on farms since the late 1940s. Whether your 8N is pulling a bush hog, running a loader, or hauling grain to the elevator, proper brake function is critical for safe operation around the farm and on public roads.
Made to Last
Farm equipment springs take a beating from constant vibration, temperature changes, and the corrosive environment around barns and fields. This retracting spring is manufactured to handle these tough conditions while maintaining the proper tension needed for reliable brake operation season after season.
Good to Know
When replacing brake springs, it’s smart to do both sides at the same time to keep your braking balanced. While you’ve got the brake assembly apart, check your brake shoes for wear and inspect the brake drums for scoring. A little brake cleaner will help remove any dust and debris that’s built up over the years.
