Take the shoes and linings to a truck brake and clutch shop. They can set the rivets there. Or you can buy a riveting machine like I did.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
THANKS for the much needed advice there!Good luck with your 816 I roaded mine back from western CO to North eastern WY back in Oct. handiest tool in my inventory yet. Pulled and loaded a few engines and installed a 6' diameter Well service pit to name a few jobs. Remember check the parking brake shoes on the T case drum. don't pitch them as they are not made anymore, just have the local truck shop re line then for approx. $100 vursus the NOS (new old stock) at the vendors for $185.
On the 4th of July (in the heat! and fighting yellow jackets who decided to build a colony on the front winch) red helped me finish installing the remaining flexible fuel lines and new fuel filter. Had to take a watermelon break and consult the TM (I think it was the -20 unit maintenance) to find the petcock drain valve for the in-cab hand primer pump. Also, just following the lines from the hand pump out of the fire wall will find it.
We got it to run for about 5-10 seconds using brake cleaner to start it (ran with a bad knock). But would not restart on its own, as pictured in this pointless video, lol:

The hand pump with 2 new O-rings works beautifully now, but the pressure quickly bleeds away. From the sound of it, it sounds like the hiss of pressure loss is coming from inside the engine around piston #4 or 5. red says probably an injector issue (I'm way outside of my knowledge range here).
If the batteries are hot and the motor is locked the starter will hit one time and hummBelieve your batteries are weak
It does, but also saw an M934 have the same symptom as that and turned out to be a bad ground. We thought it was seized at first. And the starter would only engage by crossing the terminals. The video does sound like low batteries...If the batteries are hot and the motor is locked the starter will hit one time and humm
