In Reply to: Brake Rivets how to posted by old on March 09, 2015 at 11:21:35:
I'm curious about this as I have the Chicago Rivet "Buffalo" model, just like in the link below.
I had to look into doing friction linings for my old D7, specifically the dry clutch disc's, there are some band types on it too. From looking in a 50's Caterpillar special tools catalog, they show a machine like it, doing this work. So I spotted one on CL and ended up at someones old shop where they worked on old tractors, mostly old crawlers, he let it go cheap. He said he bought it to use for something, but never got to it. I called Chicago Rivet at that time, late '10 or early '11, and I was told that tooling is still available for these. I assume there's different ones for different rivets, anvil and the top part that presses down when you put your foot on the pedal. I have wondered what the specific use for this tool was, brake and friction material fastening or what.
What stopped me was the fact that I could get the lining segments, but I'd have to template the holes, drill and counter bore all of them accurately, so I decided the next time my father heads to Rochester NY, I'd send my clutch plates with him, as there is a long time clutch shop out there.
The tooling can't be much, same as the rivets and I wonder would one of these work on what you have, or like you say, can you use a smaller bench top model, seems you could find something that would work. Some people have apparently devised their own ways to accomplish this by hand, punch and anvil etc. just not sure if there are any issues, given the friction material is probably a bit fragile if you make a mistake, easy to ruin a piece etc. Wish you were closer, sounds like a fun afternoon job once set up.

Today's Featured Article - Restoration Story: 1929 McCormick-Deering 10-20 - by Randal Simmon. On July 4th 1998 my dad and I was sitting on the front porch when he said that he was going to sell his two 10-20's to a junk man. He said that the junk man was going to give him $500 for both of them but he hadn't received the money for them yet. So I went into the house and wrote him a check for $500 and bought them myself and said now they are mine. He had bought them about five years before thinking that he was going to restore them himself. After five years sitting in the barn, he changed h
