 Topic: Allis G brakes, adjustment
Posted: 23 Jun 2011 at 1:46pm |
I have two Allis G tractors. The brakes on both of them are barely effective, and it is becoming hazardous. I went through this some time ago, and what I learned is that there is a steel rod which attaches the brake pedal to the brake lever at each wheel. At the wheel end of this rod, there is a threaded yoke, which may be used to adjust the brakes. However, now the rod has reached the limit of its travel, and while I could cut the rod in order to tighten it further, it seems that might not be smart. I'm wondering if it is time to reline the brakes. Any thoughts? http://s1217.photobucket.com/albums/dd392/althorp1/Allis%20G%20brakes/

OK. Any thoughts on where to source the needed parts, or would it be better to find a brake shop. Thanks!

Best to try the guys that advertise here first to check prices(including shipping...) then call a local brake shop and get a quote.

Whoever my grandfather bought his g from years ago did just that, cut the brake rod and welded it together. Once i put new linings on, i could barely get it threaded back on there as it was almost too short so i would not recommend cutting. I redid both of my linings in about 2 hours.

Thanks for all the suggestions and pictures to boot! I'll pick up a set of linings and take it from there.

By the way, what's involved in riveting the linings to the steel backing? I assume I will need to find a rivet installation tool? I've got a couple of rivet tools in the shop - wonder if one of those will work....
