[AT] Case VAC

[John Wilkens]

Ron, I overhauled some brakes on a VAC last year that were pretty 
bad.  I don't remember all the details now but just go ahead and take 
them off the tractor.  You will probably find that they are rusted up 
and stuck.  The disc linings may still be useable if you can get rid 
of the rust.  They work on kind of ball eccentrics.  Once you get 
them apart you will be able to figure how they work.  Its not too 
hard to find used replacement brake parts from a parts tractor or 
implement salvage yard if yours are too far gone.
Good luck.    John W.
