Mysterious. How the hell did that happen in a design 100+ years old?

It's fake news.* We all know that the old days were *far* superior to
modern rim/disc brakes.

Honestly, greasing brakes!

Actually the old style single speed coaster brakes did have grease or
oil in them. See
https://www.sheldonbrown.com/coaster-brakes.html
under "Lubrication".


It's brakes and grease, I will never surrender my opinion this is a good
thing[TM].* How do they work?


I think most tractors have wet brakes. Mine does. They seem to work.


Wet as in "water" or wet as in "oil"?
