Brakes on B

I am replacing the brakes on my B. I pulled the old pads out and found the rivets were rubbing and put some minor groves on the drum. In a car I know how important it is to get them perfectly flat to match the new pads. However I am not going to tear the rear end apart to do it. But I can spin the wheels and put a file on the drum while it turns. My question, is it worth it?

Yep, like Dick says, you can do it. On a car it's important because small inconsistencies in disc or drum surface can reduce braking effectiveness quite a bit due to the weights and speeds you are dealing with. On a tractor though, especially as small and light as a B, it's not going to have a significant effect.

 Re: Brakes on B Spring problem in reply to Shawn Auman, 03-16-2008 06:17:27  
You need the springs. I have changed several from the bolt to the ones like you picture and don't understand the problem. I will go out and look at a couple when I get home tonight. I have a B final drive in the shop with a brake band still on it. I think you might have a hardware problem. Having several tore apart to use for parts I tend to grab what I need to make things work. I do know that I use the same screw that is used for foot brakes and not a bolt or stud when changing styles of brake bands. The factory type brake spring hooks over the head of the factory type adjusting screw.

If you are talking about spinning with the engine I would say that would be setting your self up for a disaster. If you are meaning just rotating the wheel by hand a little at a time as you file I would say yes. I dressed one up several (over 10) years back with a small angle grinder. It was on the tractor I mow with and has worked fine for over 10 years. I have a 4 acre yard which means it gets used a lot.
