If you decide to replace the chambers. They can be gotten as piggybacks with just the side of the chamber you have caged up now. The other side have somebody step on the brake pedal put a vise grip on the shaft then unbolt the clamp on that half. It is the light spring with no real danger. then with the old one off you can put the new half back on the old piece bolted to the axle. IT does take a bit of practice to hold the pieces and put the clamp back on around the seem. I put the top side on first then the bottom you can swing up and put the bolt in with one hand hold them together with your 3rd hand and start the nut. LOL Not that bad. Yes the other spring you have caged can kill you if it comes loose. IT is a half inch thick rod coiled for the spring and the one you will be working with is only a bit under a 1/4 cinch with much less tension on it. IF the base plate is rusty change the whole thing. Measure the old rod and then cut the new one to match. Put the nut on first so you can after filing the burrs off unscrew it to make sure of getting the clevis and all on and adjusted. There will be 2 5/8ths bolts holding it to the bracket along with the cotter pin and pin through the S-cam slack adjuster. It will probably have auto adjust slack adjusters on it so unless you remove them you don't have to worry about them. While under there look at the shoes for wear. that should have outboard drums which makes the job easy since you don't need to pull the wheel bearings to replace shoes. If you do replace the shoes DO get the spring kit with the new shoes and take the old ones in for the core charges.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
