Re-lining D7 Dry Clutch - who does it ?

Albany must have some decent sized clutch/brake repair centers that could/would do the job for you. Out here we use a place in Illinois that does brake repair to re-line clutches.

I've got to check around locally some more, you would think that to be the case, but things have changed over the years, parts suppliers, machine shops have dwindled, city near me, Troy, was a big time player in the industrial revolution, years back things were a lot different, figured it worth asking here, I need to get this tractor running and moving again been sitting long enough, nap is over 😊 !

I,d think your Cat dealer would have the tools to do it as we did at the dealer where I worked. We had a press with a foot pedal on it to crimp the rivets and a drill to counter sink the holes for the rivets and it made an easy job of it.Seems like a good automotive older rebuilding shop could do it that does brake work.Maybe a shop that does truck brakes would be better as most if not all car and pickup brakes are an exchange shoe business and the linings are glued on the shoes.

A farm machinery dealer that has been around for a long time is likely to have a machine as well. If they have not disposed of it. They aren't a big deal, just on a stand with a motor for the drill and a foot pedal to work the riviting part. Our local dealer had one in the back room, but nobody that had ever used it. They let me use it for the brake linings on my D6. I suppose it would work on clutch linings as well. Ask around, you may get lucky and find a dealership that would give it to you to get it out of their way.

Since you are close ,How about across the border- years ago i hauled scrap rubber and it seemed that business of this type moved into Canada to avoid stricter Reg.
Jim those rivet machine were common even to gas stations years ago - as a lot of emergency brakes were the band type - that were relined , not replaced-
At least that is where I got mine a long time ago
If you really want to do it yourself - look into buying the dies from a rivet supplier -then use an arbor press
