Thanks. The actuating disc assembly is rusty and with light pitting. It doesn't even appear as they rub much on the brake disks. But I and previous owners probably don't do much high speed braking. Moving bales and such I don't do a great amount of braking except at slow speed.
I did some measurements. The balls all caliper out at 7/8" so no wear. They fit down in the grooves in the act. disc assy and don't appear wallowed out. I'm not sure if 1" balls will fit but I may go by the dealer and check.
You may be on the right track with having the housing put on a surfacer. You said .075" and I'm thinking about .30" to .40" to take off. Inspection of the rotor plate in the housing and the one on the rear axle case show they are shiny from use and appear to be wore down some. That is probably the problem. I calipered the act. disc assy when in regular position and it came out about 1.225" thick with barely a little gap between the 2 disks. About every 1/4" of pull on the rod opened it up another .10" except at 1 1/4" it goes up .13" and the balls are ready to come out of the groove at 1 1/2" of rod pull. Basic measurements per 1/4" starting at 1.225, then 1.31, then 1.40, then 1.50, then 1.62, then 1.75, and then 1.88 at 1 1/2" pull. Basically ends up opening the assy about 5/8" of an inch spread. My inch of washers I added to the rod to make it start to engage the brakes tells me that I need to take of about .40" from the housing to allow for the wear on the rotors plates.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
