The anti-spam algorithm blocked my first attempt to post to this forum and I can assure you I DID NOT use any naughty words so I m at a loss as to which words I need to eliminate so it ll pass muster BUT HERE GOES:
The Massey Air Museum (Eastern Shore Maryland) is restoring a Ford-Ferguson Moto-Tug BNO-40 #2269 and we have discovered that it had what I can only describe as Disc Brakes although not the caliper and disc we re used to seeing on cars or on planes - more like a clutch with a pressure plate (backing plate) that squeezes the disc brake pad against the drum. Does anyone know what these brakes are? Who manufactured them? What were they used on? One side locks up (and releases) and we re trying to diagnose the problem.
(IF THIS GOES THROUGH IT'S BECAUSE I DELETED THE TRACTOR PICTURES)
