Super 88 brakes

[super99]

Didn’t get anything done on the brakes today except look at the actuators and sigh. They were ran long enough that the rivets on one disc were wearing into the actuator. I think I’ll try hitting them with the 4” grinder with a flap disc on it and try to smooth them up before buying new ones. Still getting black crap out of the fuel tank.

Sometimes I'm a little envious that you're still finding these fencerow and barn find Olivers, but then you always find things like this and I'm glad it's not me. LOL

I cleaned one up on a motorcycle with a 4 inch grinder and it's still works good. Just try getting it all the same all the way around.

Why not get them resurfaced? Probably not that expensive to get done relative to what you are going to have invested in tractor before you are done! I have always said the tractors that cost me the most I paid the least for!

An orbital sander, (after wire brushing with angle grinder), with the right paper might keep it flatter that the sander disc. gm

Didn’t get much done except run errands but I hit one of the actuators with a flap disc. Looks good to me. The other one was wore worse

I had a 1935? IHC TD-40 whose diesel tank had turned to thick black tar similar to what you have pictured. Took it to a radiator shop and had it boiled. Yeah, it cost a pretty penny but the results sure made me wish I would've done it sooner in the restoration. It was beautifully clean inside when I got it back. Having the outside clean as well was an added bonus.

Looking good. Our 880 was grooved similar to yours. Not quite that bad...
Good job there. GG Wes

Oliver didn't change a lot things. Looks just like that of 1650.

They are Ausco brakes, and were used on several different brands of farm tractors.

Do you happen to know the Ausco part numbers?

Sorry, no.

You can try cleaning them up with a orbital sander and silicon carbide paper. Or sandblast them. This is what I found in my 1550. The discs and linings weren't bad. I got new anchor pins from Smitty's and welded the link ends. The straight ones are easy to make but forked ones don't seem to be available anywhere.
