[AT] Now Ralph Video -- disc brakes

[jtchall at nc.rr.com]

Not exactly the disc brake setup you guys are talking about, but I have a 
tractor with truck drum brakes on it. It is a 1937 IH industrial 20 
(industrial version of a McCormick 10-20). It has enormous drum brakes on 
each rear wheel, although only one brake pedal. We figured it was something 
special for that tractor until we went to a Red Power Roundup show in TN one 
year. While looking at the trucks, one of them was restored as just a cab 
and chassis and was about a 30's vintage. The brake setup looks just like on 
my tractor. Either they built the tractor around existing brake products or 
copied them really close. I've never freed them up, I just use the parking 
brake, that's all a 10-20 has and this one is about twice its size.

Charlie i tried that back 30 years ago on an old case 310 with loader and
hoe. Took rotors and mounts off a F250 and put on it  they worked can,t say
as good or worse that original never had. Could not get the pads i needed
for original brakes. It was a real pain two master cyl. and hook up.
would never try that again.
