Default Re: 40’ Ford Brakes

My juice brake linings on the rear of my 40 must be somewhat oversize because instructions given by the manual and other sources will not work. The way I adjust them is to turn the 1/4" adjusters for minimum drag, then turn upper 11/16 ones for as little drag as possible. Running Bendix brakes up front. One day I will do the rears too. This combination seems to work well but the fronts do 70% of the braking. I sure like the self actualizing Bendix design better.
