Mark,
look around for a clutch and brake rebuilder. We have one in Birmingham, AL called Automotive Friction. They can usually get direct replacement linings etc or if nothing else is available, they can get bulk lining material, cut to size and drill, countersink and rivet it on the shoes.
When we did the 212, the linings were no longer available from CAT to replace the one that had sloughed off. Since I needed only one shoe redone, we did the cutting, drilling and riveting here. It wasn't cheap, seems like around $60 for the materials.
Thanks...I know Cat. has all the parts available but i was looking to beat their price. I was looking for all the parts...cylinders, adjusting ''stars'' etc.
I understand that Bendex made these brake parts. Can anyone confirm that?
Our channel highlights machines from the earliest Holt and Best track-type tractors, equipment from the start of Caterpillar in 1925, up to units built in the mid-1960s.
