Mickwhitt 4,584 #1 Posted October 13, 2019 Hi all, my C-125 rear brake band is shot, what materials do I need to replace it and where can I source it from? I cant find any suitable looking stuff in the uk and shipping from the US is expensive for what it is. Regards Mick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevasaurus 22,706 #3 Posted October 13, 2019 We have a vendor here that makes up the linings and you just glue them on. @rmaynard He is on vacation for a couple of weeks now. I think you can order it, but you would have to wait until he gets home to fill the order. It's worth the wait. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rmaynard 15,427 #7 Posted October 13, 2019 Currently my PayPal vendor site is down. If anyone needs a brake lining, just PM me and I will ship it out. Sorry for any inconvenience. 3 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky-(Admin) 21,300 #8 Posted October 13, 2019 Another vote for @rmaynard and his brake linings. Shipping will be costly tho. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He relined a Ransomes crawler clutch I think. Edited October 13, 2019 by Stormin 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daveoman1966 3,745 #10 Posted October 13, 2019 Cut a chunk out of an old leather belt.... works for me. Flexible & long-wearing...cheap too. JB Weld for bond agent. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Burnerman 758 #11 Posted October 13, 2019 If it’s not a hard working tractor I’ve used a piece of thick belt leather. It does work very good. I just used a little contact adhesive to bond it to the band. If you need a brake band in a pinch it’s a cheap easy fix. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peter lena 8,580 #12 Posted October 14, 2019 found some CONVEYOR BELT MATERIAL , to be a bombproof replacement , cut it to size, glued it in place no issues , worked out well , once it takes a set , on shape around the barrel , should last another 38 years, pete Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mickwhitt 4,584 #13 Posted October 14, 2019 I will try a few different options then. I do have some decent leather belting and some odd bits of conveyor belt. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Tuul Crib 7,336 #15 Posted October 14, 2019 Just curious what did they use for the original material on these? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mickwhitt 4,584 #16 Posted October 15, 2019 Hi all, I was recommended to try custom brakes and hydraulics in Sheffield. The reline anything from giant cranes to classic cars. They will reline and bond the material in place for £30 which is ok by me. Guaranteed repair so some peace of mind. I will post pics when done.

Mickwhitt 4,584 #17 Posted October 17, 2019 Managed to sort out a newly lined brake band using these guys from Sheffield. Dropped it off at 10am and it was ready to collect at 3pm. Cost £40 for cash. They said if it has friction linings, we can handle it. So PTO clutch linings should be ok as well. 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stormin 9,981 #18 Posted October 18, 2019 Bit far off for me, Mick. But good to know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mickwhitt 4,584 #19 Posted October 18, 2019 They handle all sorts by post so you might be able to make use of them. Thinking about PTO clutch discs too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
