oldtime: That is what I figured you were talking about. You've completely rebuilt those brakes using new discs and they don't grab well. Do the pedals have adjustment bolts. Most of the old American built Farmalls had this, however I've seen a few British tractors without the adjustment. The 656 Farmall for example used shims under brake cover when tractor was new and you removed these as needed. This worked much the same as machining you describe.

Another thing we often had to do with new brake discs was rough them a bit with a sander or rasp. Some of them had such a hard glaze on them from factory you couldn't get them to grab. These brakes don't have a reputation of being best in the world by a long shot.
