I have been working to rescue my deceased brother-in-laws 1942 Allis Chalmers C from the salvage yard. It was a good tractor until it sat outside for a number of years.
I finally got the brake out on the left side and am working on the brake on the right side. I am a bit baffled how the design engineers expected one to get the pins out that hold the brakes, but I managed. The manual says just take the pins out. Well, not quite that easy.
Anyway, it looks like the drums the band brakes wrap around are pretty rusty. Do they need to be taken out (and how?) and taken to a machine shop for turning. Or, is that necessay on an old tractor?
The engine is stuck, so I have a long ways to go.
Thanks
