Removing stuck brake pins on my Allis Chalmers C project. Note, I forgot to mention in the video that the holes need to be plugged with grease or silicone after the pins are reinstalled. The open holes would be a perfect funnel for water to re-rust the pins in the future. I plan on packing the void with thick grease every so often.

Good info, more importantly I enjoy your presentation, to the point, clean language, not making the rest of us listen to some distraction that has nothing to do with your presentation. Congratulation on a very nice and complete restoration of your "stay at home C"

Had a similar problem with an English built model b. Managed to drill and tap the exposed end of the pin, and with a short length of threaded bar, spacer/nut, wound the pin out. I guess changing the brake components wasn’t something the manufacturer thought about! When reassembling, It may be a good idea to smear a little copper grease to pins to prevent them seizing. .

Nice garage, use a small socket to continue tapping out those pins.

Thread tap the holes when you're done and put plugs in them you got a way to get that one out get your torch back out try not to heat the pin just the arm pieces it's running through

Hello. This video is amazing! My grandpa is trying to determine where the brake spring hooks to the brake shoe? This video stops just short of seeing this. I went to the fast forwarded restoration videos and seen you pull it out but it didn't show how the spring was connected. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!

They wrap around the head of the adjustment screw! Hope that helps!

Great video Thanks! I have a B that needs brakes and think I'll give it a try. At 5:06 it looks like the washer on the front left pin drops into the case. Did that cause a problem? Were you able to get it out?

WOW! great catch!! How in the world did you notice that?! Anyways, thanks for the compliment. The washer fell through the drain hole in the bottom of the casing. I didn't reuse the clips because they were too rusted. Instead, I drilled a hole through the pins and used a cotter pin to keep them installed. I know that sounds confusing, but it was pretty simple. Also, I used a engine hoist to pull out the brake pads. Good luck, and if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask!

Awesome job The b models had holes on both side of the pins /axle housing, and the C didn’t no idea why they did this I think the CA also. I don’t have my manual in front of me but honestly how did they expect you to remove the pin. It’s not like it was threaded or enough stuck out to attach Vice grips, monkey wrench or weld long rod too Any idea what the manual says or what the suggestions you had from old time allis mechanics or other hobby tractor enthusiasts Thanks JR

I think AC assumed the clearance between the pin and casting was enough to allow for rust. The pin was initially held in place with external c-clips, but those don’t hold up. All the old timers online said to approach it like I did, it’s amazing that so many guys will share information just for the common good online. Hobby’s like old tractors restore my faith in the common guy living in America.
