Re: 1924 brake question

By all means, anything with a grease fitting (and many things w/o them) should be lubricated regularly - can't say that will solve your problem but it's a start as unwanted friction anywhere in a mechanical brake system is bound to give problems. Most all cars of the late 1920 and earlier had that type of early cross-pin Alemite fitting and the adapter is still commonly available, thru MSC in Harrisburg and probably others as well. You can either fasten the end of your grease gun to the adapter, or fit the end of the adapter with a modern Zerk fitting.

Picture of the adapter attached.
