Mysterious. How the hell did that happen in a design 100+ years old?
It's fake news.Â* 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].Â* 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"?
They run in transmission oil. Sealed from the elements and oil cooled.
