Well, I dusted off some old adaptors I got when I bought my 60 year old Aamco brake lathe 20 years ago. My steering clutch drums were pretty rusty, and I decided to machine them despite various opinions as to the practicability of doing so. My drums were cupped a bit in the wear area. Expect to eat at least one carbide tip cutting through the very hard and abrasive rust belt, but done carefully, it turned out good. Finish with a super slow cut, and then dress with 150 grit sandpaper by hand.

Done it in the past myself with no detriment. Dry clutches are kinda bad for it unless used often and then the wear on the surface just like automotive brake drums. 
That's All Folks!

Been kind of busy with the 6G, replacing my well pump and trying to find seals for my Massey loader. The drum on my left side was pitted up pretty bad and had a layer or mouse 'epoxy' all over it. The right drum didn't get the mice in there and so just has common rust. I'm going after the right side final next....going to attempt to inspect  the intermediate and upper shaft bearings without removing the sprocket. Cheers
