Case VAC brakes

[beercase]

I'm rebuilding the disc type brakes on my 1950 Case VAC but I don't know the proper way to adjust them when they're done. I measured and recorded the adjusting screw heights before disassembly so I have some idea where to start. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your help! I bought this tractor from my uncle in 1976. It was built the same year I was born. I use it for plowing snow and I have a two bottom mounted plow and a cultivator for gardening.Outside of the usual maintenance stuff I've never had a speck of trouble with it. Except the brakes didn't work the best. Well, the seals had failed so the brake discs became oil fouled. I'm replacing the seals and the discs and this information will be of great help. Thanks again!

Case Nutty, I sure appreciate the people on this forum that will go out of their way to help with questions. Going the next step with photos is really special. James Howell does that for JD questions. I don't have a VAC (yet), but if I ever get one, I know how the adjust the brakes......THANKS.
