What are you going to finish them with?

Indeed...

What are you going to finish them with?

Just vegetable oil.. this one needs to sit a spell, and will be planed then sanded, then oiled.

Are you going to put handles on it for me?

Good afternoon y'all. Thank you for the input!

Both shoes are tight against that top pin. The big lever is loose. After taking the drum off, I can see that only the upper third of the shoes are making contact. I'm not sure what to make of that. It's really got me stumped.

Back in the day the manufacturers would cam grind the shoes. They were thicker in the middle and slightly thinner on the ends and would wear in from the middle outwards. That's the way it used to be. Now? Probably not. Personally I see three options.
1. Check out another set of shoes. Preferably a major brand like Wagner, Raybestos or Bendix and compare.
2. Try a little "custom" fitting of the brake material.
3. Put'em on and run'em. Eventually they'll break in.
Remember, it's drum brakes. Not the Space Shuttle. It's not that hard.

I did drum brakes for years before I found the pin was adjustable. [emoji2960]

Thank you! I had no idea that that pin is adjustable. I'll look at it tomorrow.

I agree with all 3. I was thinking about just letting them wear in. The drag creates heat and I can smell it from the cab. It may turn out to be the best way though. Thank you for the ideas.

Never thought about handles..
Is that a thing?

 

[Jetmd]

Happy Monday.

Carl needs continued support so start rowing!

 

[Jetmd]

Handles may be required if you have small tender hands?

Delicate hands... yes, this could be the case.

I was wrong..
It was this.

Sometimes they cut a finger groove in the ends on the thicker 1's.

Morning everybody.

 

[67L36Driver]

Morning midlanders!

Got started on the box o 200t. Cleaning up the parts and evaluating. Starter is missing. Ordered a Metior piston kit for it.

Being this far apart and it’s an eleven year old saw, why not! Needs fuel line and stuff.

I’ll put the beer box on C’list for grins. Finance the piston kit. [emoji108]

So they aren't centered? Tap 'em down a touch to what looks to be centered,, may help
