[QUOTE="clbarclay, post: 8145249, member: 6671"] We used to have a few Michigan 35 on the farm when I was a kid. I don't know the half of the issues, but they basically never had working brakes. Essential they were worn out. I suspect there was more than one thing wrong with them and would have needed lot of parts replacing. I remember one was "repaired" with a landrover master cylinder which needed double pumping for anything to happen and didn't last that long. In practice we just didn't use brakes. Flick them into reverse and accelerating slowed them down as fast as you liked and if the ground wasn't level, you always loaded up hill, balancing the revs to hold it still. It was a different era and the transmissions on them were far more robust than the brakes. [/QUOTE]
