Yanmar YM1401D tractor brake replacement

This video covers the steps I went through while replacing the brakes on my Yanmar YM1401D tractor. It's not really a how to video, and I'm certainly not an expert on the subject, I'm just a guy with some tools and a decent amount of common sense. But perhaps there will be some useful observations in it. I thought this job would take me a few hours and it ended up stretching over several weekends.

If you don't feel like watching the entire video, here's what I ended up doing to get the new brakes to work:
- shorten brake shoe return springs so they are tight
- bevel leading edges of brake shoes
- adjust bake linkages with the tires off the ground

I also talked a little about other things I have been trying to fix on the tractor like the differential lock.
