Anyone know where I can get two new gm 4905 brake drums- 14 1/2 x 10? GM part no. 651507 ? No luck with Luke
I did a search and it said 65150 obsolete part and gave this as a replacement but I dont have a clue if it is correct or not because it was not a match of the full number you gave. > http://www.napaonline.com/Catalog/CatalogItemDetail.aspx/Brake-Drums-H-D-Truck-Disc-Outboard-Webb/_/R-TWR65157B_0313351039 (http://www.napaonline.com/Catalog/CatalogItemDetail.aspx/Brake-Drums-H-D-Truck-Disc-Outboard-Webb/_/R-TWR65157B_0313351039)

15 inch ; wrong diameter
Try Ed at Jefferson Bus Parts in OKC OK
14.5 x 10 is a pretty common transit bus brake size. I have that on my bus in the rear and a 14.5 x 6 in the front. Check with Freightliner dealers that carry parts for Thomas buses. I know that a 16.5 x 7 brake drum for a truck is around $85.00. Their price on that 15 x 6 is WAY out of line. Good Luck, TomC
HI;
Might also try removing a wheel to see the part number cast
on the existing brake drum. Mine are a replacement part
made by Webb. (MCI)
Good luck, Merle.
Chessie, does your 4905 have a cast steel hub or a aluminum cast ?
Steel or cast iron.
Steel or cast iron.
Ran across this today > https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/45803130/CJBUS/Parts_List_files/BrakeDrum07.pdf
Thanks for the link. I'll call them Monday.
Find you a very good and willing truck parts person. They can find you a drum by measuring yours. I was looking for rear drums Eagle model 20NJT. I realize mine is much newer, but she found the drums. PM me for name and number. Art
Chessie -
I think I just saw, within the last 10 days or so, that JD at C&J Bus Repair in Bloominton, MN said that they have an adapter kit available to use a common brake drum on the 4905s, since the OEM seem to be impossible to find. Might give them a call: (952) 881-0034
FWIW & HTH. . .
;)
Hey,
Just got a new tip on the 4905 rear brake drums being a rare part now. I called the C&J folks and the adapter kit is $1500. This is not the total cost to convert from the old brakes to a common size as the kit does not supply a number of parts needed once converted. You'd need to call them to get the details if you go this route. JD and Steve are very cool dudes, very helpful.

A little pricey to me when you could find the drums new they cost $160.00 ea lol I worked on a 4905 that was a treat trying to find the aluminum rear hubs and finally found a steel replacement I don't think the 4905 was supposed to have aluminum hubs and have no idea how they ended up on his bus
ABC Bus in FL may have them...
Might try "Otts Friction Supply" in Portland, Oregon

Thanks Tom.
That catalog identifies obsoleted drums but shows a substitute for all the ones I saw. Good to know that drums are available one way or another, maybe just to cost a few more bucks and a bit more looking.
