Terry,

I've never had to balance a drum (never even thought about it) but couldn't
you use stick-on weights on the drum itself? How bad is it? With the brakes
backed off I would imagine you could let the drum rotate and add weights
until it doesn't stop in any single spot when rotated.

Cheers,
Lew Palmer

Learned MMM'ers.....the right front brake drum on my N type 12" drum is 
decidedly out of balance.  Its not the wheel but the drum itself.  Is this
common 
and something to worry about?  I presume I can use weights on the wheel to 
balance the whole assembly.  I pulled the drum off yesterday to take a look
and 
its hard to imagine how the drum could be machined to obtain balance........
