Description
When your old Ford tractor’s brakes start feeling spongy or you notice uneven brake shoe wear, it’s often this little spring that’s lost its grip. The brake shoe adjusting screw spring keeps proper tension on the automatic adjustment mechanism, making sure your brakes stay properly positioned and responsive. Without it working right, you’ll find yourself constantly readjusting brake shoes or dealing with poor stopping power when you need it most.
What You’re Getting
- Proper spring tension that keeps the adjusting screw mechanism working smoothly
- Durable steel construction that handles the heat and stress of brake operation
- Correct dimensions and spring rate for reliable automatic brake adjustment
- Direct replacement that restores factory brake performance to your vintage Ford
Built for Real Farm Work
This spring fits Ford tractors from the 501 utility models through the 4000 series workhorses that were the backbone of farming from 1955 to 1964. These were the tractors that moved from basic field work into the era of hydraulics and PTO-driven equipment, handling everything from cultivating and planting to running hay balers and corn pickers.
Made to Last
Brake springs take a beating from heat cycles, road dust, and constant flexing. This TISCO replacement is built to handle the conditions inside a brake drum, with spring steel that maintains its tension through years of farm work and temperature extremes.
Good to Know
While you’ve got the brake drum off, it’s a good time to check the condition of your brake shoes and adjusting screws. This spring works hand-in-hand with those components, so replacing worn parts together saves you from having to tear things apart again next season.
