I made some progress in taking stuff apart. Looks like my brake linings are good. I have about 3/16" lining on each side. My theory on what I think happened....The machine is new to me (2 weeks), I have no contact with previous owner, so can't pick his brain about any maintenance. Brake levers were stuck all the way down near steering housing, as if brakes were being applied and also where the steering levers are. So when I pull back on steering lever, there is no change in braking, its not moving at all because bushing where steering lever is is seized on both. Im guessing it hadnt been used in a while and the PO used it, brakes locked up and then they used the brake steering band adjustment nut to loosen up brake bands and not have any steering..thats my theory?? So other than having some milky oil is this normal?

Thanks! Do you happen to know what size the drain plugs are for the steering clutch housing..I thought it was a 3/8" ratchet head, but I'm wrong..I ended up pumping all fluids out, but I still want to free up drain plug..also brakes were way too loose, I got them to engage by tightening actuator..Is this the right way, I'm pretty sure my clutch levers are adjusted properly..I figured I get them snug, but free enough for drum to spin, then I can drive and adjust from the outside plug????
