Sorry but this just irks me. Yesterday as I was leaving work I put my 98 Dodge pickup in reverse to back out of the lot and when I hit the brakes the pedal went to the floor! After a couple of frantic seconds I got it stopped by pumping the pedal. When I looked over at where I had been parked I could see most of a brake pad laying on the ground! Just so happens to have been mine. Now I have had three sets of brake shoes and now one set of pads(all different vehicles) where the glue has let go and either locked up the rear brakes or in this case left me with no brakes for the first several pumps. I realize this probably happens when they get moisture behind them and freeze repeatedly, however I do not remember this ever happening with riveted shoes. I couldn't find any riveted shoes in the parts store when I went there so I guess I'll just have to risk it with these. Seems a safety hazard to me but I guess as long as glue is cheaper than rivets!

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
