One last thing.. Since you have a 149 as well can I bother ya with another question? When I took my brakes off the axle, I took one apart to look at the pads, seems there in decent shape still, have over 100 thou of depth on the pads so I'm just going to reassemble them, but I noticed in the service manual that there's a spacer and a spring over the pin that rides through and holds the assembly together. Mine are missing.. Is there a spacer and spring on both sides for a total of 4 for both brakes? or is there just 1 spring for each brake? those little boogers are 10 bucks a piece for just the spring? 40 bucks for springs.. got to be kidding me!

There were three different brake arrangements--not sure why. I guess design changes/improvements over time. I have the middle arrangement on my 108 and 149. So there are no springs. You must have the type on the left? Looks like two springs per wheel (#6 on the left picture). You are discovering that, while parts are available for 40 year old tractors, they ain't cheap.
