Wow,
Thanks, everybody for the quick responses.
I had three different types of responses from a number of people:
To adjust the brakes-which is accessed through the top back on the 67B.
To adjust the brake shoes with a little star wheel on some vehicles-not on
the 67.
To view the brake shoes to determine wear without taking off the drum. I
think this might be the winner.
Thanks all.
Monte
