I picked up this perfectly imperfect preserved 1650 sat morning for 35$ from the junk yard.

Wet breaks?:Huh:
Did you try adjusting them?

To adjust them you have to jack one of the rear wheels up in the air, then tighten the square headed bolt on the brake arm on the bottom front of the transmission. If that makes any sense...

IHCC, it does. I will have to try it when i get home. Thank you much.

I forgot to add that the reason for jacking one wheel in the air is so that while tightening you spin the tire. When you feel it grabbing stop tightening the bolt and tighten the jam nut. Voila your brakes are adjusted, or should be.

If you have nothing nice to say, keep you mouth shut.I put a lot of time and blood into this machine. For all that have helped. Thank you. That is all.

And as my Dad used to say, if you keep silent some might think you are not versed on the subject, but if you open your mouth, you just might confirm it.
----but so hard to do sometimes.
With all the new words the young generation is coming up with on these smarty fones and spacy bookie or flitter flutter er what ever, it is like a ferrin language.

Well you could break your knuckles working on the Brakes. Or better yet some folks are still trying to steal a steel still.
My dad once told me
" the other day I saw a saw that would out saw any saw he ever saw saw."
Oh got to love the English language. God bless all.

This is what I think of when you say "Dry Break". :bigthink:

It's what they use for a Nas$crap car when the gas it up.
