The long road home has begun. The 'europid' models of these tractors use separate brake axles (forward of the main axles) including main brake discs, a front axle disc, and park-brk drums wirth shoes. Both shoes were new-size but one was damaged, glued the damaged part back on with HD epoxy. The press-on actuating levers would not come off without heating which burned the grease seals, which are no longer available. To arrive at the correct span I used slight larger and smaller generic ones :)


The drums were slightly used, did not have them turned but I will need to adjust for even force seeing that one is tighter than the other, actuation is entirely mechanical with (turnbuckle) provision for adjustment.
