Years ago when bought a Cockshutt 30, the brakes were missing but the seller gave me a box with a set of brakes inside, telling me that these were for the tractor. Well, they weren't for a Cockshutt 30 but they were of the same design. Each rear brake has a pair of shoes. The shoes are supported and activated by a single lever (sort of a bent arm) that has two machined shafts pressed into the lever. Each of the shafts holds and supports one brake shoe and activates it when the lever is moved. One brake shoe is inside the drum and the other shoe is outside the drum. The shoes work by 'squeezing' together on opposite sides of the brake drum edge. Similar to the principle of a disc brake but the clamping power is on the outside edge of the drum's circumference. Now, there is original red paint on the metal part of the shoe and on the lever assembly so wer're probably dealing with a red tractor here. I've seen the brakes on a Cockshutt 40/50 and these seem smaller. I've never actually compared them to the brakes on a Cockshutt 35. Here's my question - WHAT MANUFACTURERS USED THIS INSIDE/OUTSIDE CLAMPING SHOE SYSTEM ? Once I know where they might be from, then I can start comparing casting numbers. Thanks.
