27 Hudson Wheel Restoration

Unknown

Help Please,



I am restoring the wheels on my '27 Hudson. I have:

1) Remmoved, cleaned and varnished the wood spokes

2) Bead blasted the wheels and hubs

3) Painted the wheel hubs

4) Assembled two of the three wheels with a lot of cursing. (Spoke

wheels!@!@!)

5) Had the brake shoes renewed.

6) Purposely left the mechanical lever disconnected from the brake

assembly.

7) Installed two rear wheels over the new brakes shoes.



Question: With the frame off of the garage floor and the two

restored wheels in place, I attempted to turn the brake drum

successfully but with some reistance. When I turn the drum by hand

the brake drum will grab in spots. Any suggestions?



Thank you,



Rick.
