[AT] Case VAC

[Easley, Greg]

'48 model will have mechanically-actuated disk brakes.  They're pretty
well worthless even when all the parts are in good condition.  The brake
cover carries the actuator and moveable backing plate, disk is splined
to the pinion shaft, pinion carrier serves as the fixed backing plate.
Typically you will find leaking pinion seals, glazed backing plates,
worn out disk linings, and lots of wear where the balls fit on the
moveable backing plate.  Don't be surprised if one or both moveable
backing plates are cracked or broken.  Don Livingston
(manifold at smig.net)
has new lining material for the disks.

Hi all.
Now I would like some information on brakes.  The ones on this tractor
work so little  you really have to look closely to notice if they work
at all.  This is a 1948 model and has been parked for many years, what
advise do you have before I just start taking things apart?
