wilwood calipers for disc brakes January 23, 2019 11:11PM
I have a few questions about the willwood caliper disc set up. I am wanting to put disc brakes on my tractor that has the 706 rear end but try to keep the stock pedals and possibly the stock brake valve. I have already converted the factory IH brake valve to be a manual valve for the stock brake set up. I was wondering if the stock brake valve will work with the willwood calipers? will the stock valve create enough pressure to stop the machine with the willwood calipers? and since I am using hy tran for the stock valve will the hy tran oil affect or hurt the seals in the willwood calipers? has anyone successfully done this and how did it turn out? any information is appreciated. thank you very much and thank you morgans for this site.

For big tractor, use Mico, or Engler style caliper.
I can't answer if the stock IH brake actuators would work well with this style of caliper.

I tried this and didn’t work out. I used the stock brakes with stock pedals converted to manual for a season but tried to go with disc brakes and stock manual pedals. Can’t remember what didn’t work but something wouldn’t jive and switched to Willwood masters.
