I do too!

LOL!

On a more helpful note, is the drum still available? Maybe fill with weld and have it turned flat on a brake lathe?

It is worn. You could replace it but that system is pretty crude. It will work the way it is. Make the adjustments so the band does not rub the drum when it is released.

They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.
