I tried to get my side plate off to tighten up the ring backlash. Well as I was prying and it popped. You can see the results. Not sure were to go from here. I tried to push from the other side with a bottle jack thinking I could push the hole assembly some to get it going. I didn't want to pump the jack any harder. Any ideas?
Couple more pics of the tractor.
And a few more of side plate and brakes. Everything was rusted up pretty good. Old brakes. Had a bunch of dirt and rust in there. Brakes are ready to go just need to get the broken side plate off. That cup is frozen in there.
