Doug, Disc brakes are a tempermental lot in general. The main things that cause loss of braking power are oil and water. Oil leaking past the bull pinion shaft seals out into and over the discs or water intruding into the housing via the rubber boot on the adjuster bolt are two killers. Over time the large double sided actuators in the middle of the brakes will gum up and not allow the steel balls to work in their ramps. To remedy this, remove adjuster nut and outer housing that covers the brakes. If you find oil inside, replace the seals. Pull the actuator out of the housing and remove the two very short springs holding the halves of the actuator together. Remove the four balls and clean the ramps they ride in. Clean the balls or replace them if they are rough. Lightly coat the balls with lithium grease and reassemble the actuator. Reinstall into the housing after checking the condition of the disc pads. There can be no oil on the discs. If the lands of the actuator, housing cover or backing plate where the discs ride are damaged, pitted, rusted, etc, you should have them dressed at a machine shop. Reassemble the whole assembly back onto the tractor and adjust per the book. Good luck.
