Guido,
I had similar brake issues on the 147.
I found a donor tractor with OK brake pads and used those. I did read Matts information about the McMaster Carr material.
One tip I did get from the guy I got the donor tractor from was to thread the rods about 1 inch more and cut off about 1 inch.
Yea if you have wear then welding the pivot point should help too.
Regards,
Chris
