Hi Joe, Your JD dealer sells a set of brake linings complete with rivets specifically for your tractor. I think they were a bit less expensive ($30-$40) in the set vs individually. E-mail me at [email protected] if you would like the JD part number. I don't have it here. Drilling the old rivets out is very easy. Putting the new rivets in, is where it becomes a little more tricky. Seems as though, when using a transfer punch, that the rivets are always either just a bit too loose, or they are just a bit too tight, and they crack the linings. I prefer to use a gradual, controlled force when installing the rivets. You can get the rivets nice and tight, without cracking the linings this way. If you are interested, again, e-mail me, and I will send pictures of a rivet tool I made out of a leaf spring splitter, the home made rivet tool that the local JD dealer uses, and a picture of the actual tool that is supposed to be used. They all work equally well, and the priciple is the same. You should be able to come up with something yourself. If not, I live near Medina, Ohio and would be glad to do it for you if you live close enough to bring them. Greg
