36' model 51 brake
 

I'm down to this on the brakes. When I take off the 5 bolt to remove this cover, will I have to detach the parking brake mechanism pictured on the right of the axle?

Re: 36' 1.5 ton oil residue in brakes
 

I've got down to the brakes, everything seems to be working, as well as the brake shoes appear to have a lot of life left. I noticed there's some oil residue on the brake components, (but not on the shoes). Think this is normal, or maybe some oil Getting around a seal somewhere? Bret.

I have a '34 pickup as well as a 1 1/2 ton dump truck and had "leakage" that was not on the brake shoes as well. I replaced # BB 1175-C Retainer (rear wheel grease retainer) and that did the trick.

Thanks so much, where did you find this retainer. i'm having a harder time finding some of these part for the 1.5 tons. Thanks Bret

Found the seal at macs, they are referring to it as a "2ton seal" I'm assuming they meant 1 1/2? Here's a pic of mine.

I would suggest checking with Joblet (if their still answering the phone!) or VanPelt, etc to find what you need.

Bret:
I got mine from Joblot a number of years ago but if you use that part number, you should be fine and I think Macs has it. That part was used from 1934 to 42 or '47 for the 1 1/2 ton trucks. The "green bible" will help you out- Parts catalog.

Thanks guys! I found Joblot and downloaded there catalog. The inner nut came off tight and seemed to have some flattened threads, thinking was done in the past, I found one on Joblot, so will be ordering one there, they have brake parts for the big trucks it appears to if I run into a brake that needs something. Thanks again!

You will want to place your order with Joblot as soon as possible since they are winding down their operation. They are only selling parts in stock and are not able to re supply.

Re: 36' model 51 brake
 

Thanks, I called them today and have what I need coming, they were very friendly and imformative. Hate to hear there winding down..

Re: 36' model 51 brake
 

Glad to hear they had the parts, they are (soon to be were) one of the better suppliers for hard to find parts.
