Anyone have good success bonding material to the clutch/brake? Looking for ideas before I do mine.

Excuse, but are you talking about two items, brake (band) and (pto) clutch?

One of our members said he got in tp=ouch with them and they could handle refacing just about anything.

Good luck!

Brake band: The trick is to glue the friction material to the band under pressure,

that is with the brake locked while curing. The brake develops very little heat in

most cases so an epoxy or cyanoacrylate ("crazy") glue will work if the metal

surface is cleaned and sanded.

The PTO clutch: May develop some heat, but the sheeve is a massive heat sink

and will pull heat away as quickly as it is generated. Don't know where or what

friction material you might have for the clutch but I think you could get by with the

cyano- stuff, again with good surface prep and clamping. Just my opinion.

Cyano- actually has quite a lot of heat resistance. Takes a lot of heat to undo

joints I have found.

I am talking about the brake. I should have been more clear.

I've used 2 part epoxy with success. Dont remember exactly what it was but most likely it was one of the Hysol or 3M products.

I bead blasted the inside of the steel band, and used a sanding wheel to scuff up the glueing surface on the brake material (dont breathe it, I'm sure its nasty...). Applied the glue and squeezed it around a brake drum until it had cured.

Its probably 2 years since I did it and I havent had any problems with it (and thats why I dont remember the details!!)

BJ weld will work you just have the get it to the right shape before it sets up.

I found a site that sent me to BJ weld "Industro Weld" but it seams to be the same as

BJ weld just in a larger size. I have seen Industro Weld at the AutoZone.

Yes my fingers work faster than my brain, never could spell worth a darn.

JB Weld good stuff it also work for body filler on small spots, but it's mean to work

out smooth. I have used it to repair a lot of different things.
