I think they are leather. Are they the accordian style things that fit around the rod coming out the back of the drum?

I don't have a parts manual available Jordan, but I suspect Kevin is talking about the asbestos strip that runs between the backing plate and the drum.
I would suggest that perhaps the modern fiberglass rope you buy for the doors of wood stoves would work in place of the original.

for what its worth on the T16 I did replace the seal. It is a square section gland material that I was able to source from a bearing and pump specialist. It is so tight though that its hard to turn the drum now. I guess it will wear in though.

Hi All,
One thing comes to my mind regarding this seal. Do we really need it with the careful use we make of our machines? I for one never go in water or mud. This week I have removed one brake drum assembly because of a failed brake cilinder and have not seen a seal in the backing plate. There was no dirt or rust in the drum only a lot of brake dust on all parts. Pitty that the absence of the seal does not make the brake dust disappear. The failed brake cilinder was a very nicely made reproduction but had one flaw. The pull rod was made of two pieces that had a threaded connection (6mm) and a small tig weld. Both broke off cleanly.

i used grease impregnated felt on mine which should work well enough but i haven't run it yet so i couldn't say for sure that it's ok.

Marc
It appears from your photo that the wedges are too soft. The rollers have pushed into them . This would make the load on your pull rod much bigger, as the rollers would be trying to climb out of the trench rather than climb a steady ramp.
I think the pull rod might be a weakness in the design and have seen a couple of broken ones. The pull rod I mean is not shown in your pictures. Rick, your grease might creep to your linings.
