Does anyone have a number for the brake drums on our rigs? I found the OEM number and have a casting number(L35972R) on the old drum but haven't been able to locate them. I know Jim K sells them but @ 160 each x4 plus freight that puts the Reaction arm pretty close with all new parts. Anyone find anything more reasonable?
Thanks, Hal

Are they not just reworked drums from a late '60s toronado? At one time, one of our vendor's had photos of the discs and drums they sold. Those photos clearly showed that the parts had been reworked from a 5-bolt configuration.

I had a toro rear axle with drums and they looked pretty darn close, but I never did a side by side compare.

The original drums had 8 holes. The ones you see that are redrilled from a 5 hole drum are aftermarket drums. But, if they are centered properly when drilled they work just fine.

Cinnabar sells non-redrilled drums with eight stud holes and the correct hub OD, I bought a pair awhile back and they were $179.00
each.

Thank you all. I ordered a new drum off EB for $42. shipped and will attempt to drill it before buying more.
Thank you for the offer Jim, we may still make it North later next month and will be sure to look you up if we do.
