I see that you are in a 707 area code. There is a place in Sacramento that will reline just about anything. Is the metal part of the band badly rusted? That can mean a bigger problem.
I just looked thru my notes (Capital Clutch and Brake) Sacramento Calif. Good Luck with it, Grant
Thank you! I am located in Ukiah CA (707) area code. I will give capital clutch a call tomorrow!
Yes, Capitol Clutch and Brake should be able to reline or supply materials. The best counter person there of 12+/- is named "BT". Vince is the owner, and I think if anyone gets stumped, they stroll over to his office for fatherly advice.
You might even ask one of the salesmen from ACME Rigging and Supply (Ukiah) if they have any recommendations. They service many folks with logging equipment with cables, cutting edges, etc; one of their field salespeople might know of someone close by.
I have a mechanic from Colusa County that may be able to reline them; he generally does brake band relines for the local dealers, but not sure if he has friction materials for the larger CATs.
Another option is ask "Piggy Smith's" aka FPSmith in Cordelia (Fairfield) or General Gear in Boise, ID.
Good luck and happy wrenching. JM

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
