Working on brakes 40 B serial #81792.
Sent for new shoes at K & K Antique Tractors. They sent me lining 7.5 inches long [measured on curve] with 6 rivets. Mine measure 9.5 inches with 8 rivets. They claim someone changed the brakes to a later model or changed the serial number. JD parts picture shows 8 rivets. She assured she sent me the correct lining for my 40 B. I think the many changes in that era that she is not correct. She is now sending 10 inch lining for a 47 B will they fit?
What is the opinion of you out there that are more knowledgeable.
Thanks, Sam
