Picked up a 1975 JD 200 a few weeks ago and need to get the right brake pedal off . Any tricks to getting this off ? Thought I would ask before taking off to many things that I should not have to.
Thanks

So the trick is stand on your head while trying to do jumping jacks lol , all jokes aside yes its a pain for sure youll need to remove the pin for the brake rod an the bolts or pins that hold it onto the bracket ive helped truck 21 put a few together an ill tell ya right now youll invent a few new words for it

Yes they are a religion tester

Snap ring on the inside of the frame on the end of the shift needs to come off. Make sure the fender pan is loose so you can get in to disconnect the brake rod. Once that is all done pull the fender pan toward you as far as you can. Taking the rubber foot pad off makes things easier. When you get the shaft out of the frame drop it down and out. GOOD LUCK!!!!!!

Wait, if your just talking about the pedal isn't it just 2 bolts?

 

[truck21]

Not on the 1975.

 

[Chaser]

I interesting. Guess I've never seen a 75 setup.

Thanks guys for all your advise . So does the return spring stay put or is it going to go flying off ? Will be a few days till I get a chance to give it a try. Thanks again

You'll be fine as far as the spring. No tension on it unless the pedal is depressed.

Have you tackled this yet? Curious what new words you've invented. LOL

 

[pullin400]

Nope have not had a chance to yet. Had to work the weekend so was not able to work on it. But you guys paint such a rosy picture on how easy it will be I can hardly wait to get at it .LOL

 

[truck21]

LOL....it can be a pain but you'll be fine. It's a lesson in patients sometimes for sure. I've got five 1975 tractors plus worked on a few more so i've got a bit of experience with them.

 

[Kster526]

yes yes he does...………..

Well got a little time this evening to take a time to look at this again. With some good advise that I received here was able to get it off in about 15 to 20 minutes. Thanks guys . I believe that going back together may be a little more difficult.
So next question are the pedals suppose to be black or green ? On this one under the rubber pad it is green as is the rest of the pedal. The left pedal is also green.
Thanks again.

 

[truck21]

1975 are green. Happy to hear things went well.

 

[pullin400]

Thank you sir !!!!

Any updates on how things are going?

 

[pullin400]

Sorry no updates as of now . To many irons in the fire to speak of . Hopefully soon though.

 

[pullin400]

Ok couple of updates . Gas tank is soaking in apple cider vinegar , Have pressure washed it three times and may get it again.
Question , does anyone have any photos of the bottom side of the lift lever. Not sure if I am missing some parts of if something is bent . Looks different than the 110’s . Or ever a picture or the parts break down from the parts manual .
