One more question on the 7000. My brakes both act differently, and I am not sure which is correct. My left brake will nearly lock up the wheel without much force at all on the pedal, almost like an "on-off" switch when you hit a certain point in the pedal travel. The other brake is much smoother, but it will not lock up the wheel. I took it apart to clean the balls and ramps, and the balls are still round. I am not sure if the ramps are worn or not, but I could make the assembly spin out by hand with the springs off of it. I didn't take off the left side because I was assuming that this was how the brakes were supposed to be (take very little effort to lock up the wheel). The seals were replaced a couple years ago and I didn't have any signs of leakage, but one side did have some leakage before the seals were done. The discs on the right assembly that I took apart seemed like they had plenty of life left in them. The ribs were still clearly defined in the disc. I know the plates are pretty pricy, and after spending quite a bit on the powershift rebuild and needing to buy fluids to give the tractor it's yearly service, I am a little short on cash to buy new discs, but if it's something that can be fixed without expensive parts, I'll give it a try.
