gsummers 236 #1 Posted October 12, 2014 Replaced the tranny today on Dads 312-8, the brake lining is shot on the band, what is a good fix for new brake lining? I am not going to pay $77.00 for a new brake band. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chipwitch 73 #6 Posted October 12, 2014 Bob, will those fit the C-125? And, do you always carry them? I need to check mine... I don't think there's a lining on it. Didn't realize there was supposed to be one there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmaynard 16,291 #7 Posted October 12, 2014 It should fit your C-125. If you want one, there is only one left on eBay. I have exhausted my inventory and won't be making any more until later this year. If you order on eBay, wait for my invoice so I can give you the RedSquare discount. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chipwitch 73 #8 Posted October 12, 2014 Thanks Bob... In my haste to get the proverbial "last one," I just went ahead and paid for it. There is absolutely NO lining on my machine. Apparently, I only bought something that LOOKED like a tractor. I didn't know much about these things when I bought it. Instead, I relied on the word of the seller. Oh well, I guess it could have been worse. I don't regret getting her, but I don't think it was the bargain I thought it was when I got it. Anyway, thanks again!

Buying these grand old machines from a stranger is always a crap shoot. That being said, half the fun of owning them is getting your hands dirty. I value the wrench time almost as much as I value the seat time. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
