no brakes on tractor

2pack

I am thinking of buying an international 1046 , 4wd, old tractor with dry brakes, great engine etc, i think year around the late 70's but anyway had been stored in shed for 7-8 years, its got no brakes on it at all and were very poor when it was going.
I wonder how much roughly it would cost to do the brakes up on this.
would it be a big job?

thanks

only ever worked on one 1046 but tought they all had wet brakes,
as for a job you could be looking around €300+ labour not sure on price of brakes but I would start by checking out the master cylinders

if you have to change the discs they are about £60 for a set of two,thats two discs used each side,if its a case the discs are worn down to the metal the pistons could be scored you cant skim them, for a 956 they are £800 a side that was what i was quoted for my 956 the half axle casting for a 956 will fit a 1046 the internals will prob be the same too,its not too bit a job change the discs jack the cab off the axle mounts and an engine crane or similar to lift the axle halves.

its an 1976 1046, gearsticks are on middle of floor, its got the dry brakes and as stated not a brake kind on it
one guy mentioned 1000 euro to do the work which is expensive
