the brake shoes are just at the line of bolts that hold on the final drives to the axle,be sure to wire down the diff lock pedal before you remove the RH final drive it will save you a lot of hassle.

Any particular order involved with whipping everything g off?

Ouch! But then, saying that for the money you've got a fresh handbrake, and a recon gearbox and trans pump and clutch. Will be like a new tractor [emoji123]

Hopefully it should be.,most of the parts needed are only small bits but pricey

If memory serves the handbrake band is knocking on 100 quid on its own and yet would probably count as one of the cheaper bits [emoji23]

Have you tried tractor parts? They can be OK for bits and pieces, and if vat reg'd quite reasonable.

 

[Alternativedairy]

Trans pump is about the same, but tidy chaps to order from

I got a spurious handbrake band was about an inch and a half too short,didnt want to be messing about with parts that mightnt fit,then again I cant get some of the springs for the synchros from a case dealer.
