Ford 4000 4cyl gas SOS

Where is a good place to buy a complete rebuild kit for the rear brakes on my tractor? I should have my new tires next week and I'm hoping to have all the parts I need when I take the wheels off to rebuild the brakes. I want to keep using the tractor until the tires show up. They are full of calcium so it is a big job for me to pull them off to see what parts I need for the brakes.

Also where can I get a decent draw bar for the 3 point hitch. The one from Tractor Supply bent the first time I used it.
 
I was kind of hoping to get all the parts in a set. I only saw the individual parts on this site. I guess I can get my service manual out and look up what parts I need.
 
yep.

hard to make up a set to sell.. when the average person might only want shoes. not springs and all..e tc..
 
I was hoping to minimize the down time by ordering the parts and having them on hand when I pull the wheels off. Typically what needs to be replaced? I'm guessing I should order shoes, retracting and return springs, anchor pin assemblies, brake shoe hold down springs, the adjusting screw set up and a dust seals. Anything I'm missing?
 
i'd open it up before you order.. really...

it's an old machine.. you don't know what you will or won't find.

that's my best advice..
 
Complete kits are readily available from multiple vendors, including this site.

Note: If the shoes have not been serviced for many years, the anchor pins will likely be rusted to the bushings. If badly siezed, the easiest way to remove the pins is to cut the shoes away with a torch such that heat can be applied to the bushings.

If this is necessary, you may want to replace the anchor pins. These are not part of the kits.

In any event, use anti sieze on the pins upon reassembly.

I will take your advice and tear it apart tomorrow and see what I have. When I tear an engine apart on the boat I always figure 1 day for disassembly order the parts and then a day to put it back together. Thanks
