I recently had a kind of the same situation. The brakes on my 37 JD A needed replacement. I would have them relined, but the backing was questionable (rusted through/bent). Call the local JD dealer. They wanted $136.00 per shoe. Times that by 4 = $544.00 plus tax. Found a small one man (owner 65 plus years old) shop down an alley in Colorado Springs. Walked into his place carring the shoes. As soon as he seen them, he asked if they were for a JD A? Couldn't beleive that he knew what they were for. He took them and said he would see what he could do. He called me the next morning and said they were done. When down to pick them up. He had not only relined them, but welded and built up the shoes and painted them. Looked new. Charge??? $45.00. I gave him $65.00 because I know he spent more time than what he was charging. Well he's my brake guy now. I bet he'd even do clutch relining. His shop equipment had to have been 50's era.
