MF 6290 handbrake cable and brakes?

[Pilatus]

I have replaced the handbrake cable on my MF 6290 (9400hrs)but handbrake will not hold tractor/trailer with cable fully adjusted,unless I have adjusted cable incorrectly!!!!. I think the internal brake pads/bands or whatever they are must be worn out. Are they very easy to replace? I must add I am not great with spanners and I do not have a workshop,just a concrete floor!!!!! Any suggestions /help appreciated, I just use the tractor for pulling my forwarding trailer/crane about clearing up the odd wind blown tree, but as very hilly ground top rate brakes/handbrake essential. Thankyou

Have you made any internal adjustments to the handbrake? The cable adjustement is only to get rid of the slack.

most likely one of the discs has shattered but first there is a access plate on the left of the tractor in front of the rear axle about half way up at the back of the plate there is a 24m headed bung. remove that you should be above the oil level. then 17 mm socket on a foot long extension TAPE IT ON YOU DONT WANT TO LOOSE IT push it in you should feel the adjusting bolt give it half a turn and see what its like

Many Thanks for the above , do we turn it clockwise or anticlockwise.

You might need to return the handbrake cable back to original
