[Farmall] F-20 Brakes

[oldiron62 at gmail.com]

Tony,
I have looked on ebay, just search F20 and see who is selling parts.  Then 
ask them if they have what you are looking for.  And if they have the parts 
ask them to list them on ebay, send you the item #.  Just an idea, our F20 
has the best brakes of any tractor on the place, and this is how I found the 
parts. I aready looked before sending this and see that there are a few 
parts listed. So you should be able to come up with some one that is parting 
out one or two.
I hope this helps.

Subject: [Farmall] F-20 Brakes



Hello,

I started playing with my F-20 for the first time in a couple years in hopes 
that I could get the brakes working well enough to do a hayride this fall. 
One side is in really good shape as an axle seal has apparently been leaking 
for years. That side will need the shoes redone but not much more. The other 
side was worn out fully. The shoes were not moving, just bending when the 
brake cam applied pressure. Also, the spring was broken. Bad news is I can't 
get the shoes of the pivot point as they are rusted solid. Worse news is 
that I broke one trying. Looks like I'll need to apply some heat.

Questions I have are:

1. How does one get brake shoes rebuilt, or what are my other options?

2. Do you have brake shoes available? How about the spring? Masy need a drum 
too as the dry side had no lining and was pretty pitted.

3. Were the brake drums lined at all or just machined?

Any other suggestions or wisdome would be appreciated as always.

Thanks,

Tony
