        Well, I kept going deeper and finally got the pressure plate assembly out as one unit.  The inside disk had all the rivets broken too.  Is there a bolt set with thin heads that will replace these rivets so I don't have to buy new discs?  I haven't priced them out so I don't know what I'm looking at for $$$. hmmm

          Where are you at? If there is a friction shop near you that rebuilds clutches and brake shoes they would do the job for a minimal price. I have to ship old brake shoes (that are no longer available) to get relined to Portland. When I lived in Oakland I could drop off a few clutch sets and shoes in the morning at Oakland Friction and have them back by noon.cool

            The discs are not expensive, here is a link to them from my website

              Thanks guys for the info.  I live in Sequim, WA so there probably isn't anyone real close……..probably will buy new ones.  First I think I'll remount the tire/wheel and remove the other side to inspect that one.  This explains why I had to stand on the brake to slow her down on hills!

                Well, I got the two new friction discs from Burley in Tacoma (fast – 1 day to get) and installed them, made adjustments best I could to try to match up right and left and now it holds well on a steep hill.  I still have to stand on the brake and clutch, but I imagine that's probably pretty normal as I only weigh about 160.  So another task is now checked off my to do list.  Now I'm studying how to fix my leaky hydraulic fittings by my FEL control but if I have any questions that will be a seperate post.

                  I think if it were me on a wheeled tractor, I wouldn;t use the brakes for slowing speed on a hill, I would use engine compression using the rule of thumb: “Always go down a hill in the same gear you use to go up it”.

                    I'm with Bob on that one – I try not to use the brakes on hills, as the chance of losing traction is just too good for me to feel comfortable about it.  Of course, I'm pretty timid when it comes to things like that, after a few close calls when I was a kid on the farm.  I'm way older now and don't heal up nearly so fast as I did when I was 14.  So no more side-hill gymnastics, turning on hills, things like that.
