Brake shoe type

Post by AaronF »

I'm working on a 34 V-8 1 1/2 ton, it doesn't like to stop , I've had drums off, adjusted the shoes, checked all the linkages, it even has a vacume boost on it, it does have woven lining and the drums are steel, at least from sticking a magnet thru the wheel, the linings look to be good, would bonded shoes work better.

Thanks
Bob C

The June 1932 Service Bulletin has information on brake adjustments. You should have cast iron drums. Are the brake roller tracks
in good shape (probably not) and the shoes centered?
