blade brake glue

I have had a lot of luck using JB Weld and a couple pop rivets, or small bolts. If you using brake your own pads, make sure you counter sink the rivets, or bolt heads.

As to glue. Any shop that relines truck brakes and clutches will have both the glue and rivets that hold shoes on.

Shops have NOT relined Brake shoes or Clutch discs in over 60 years!. Buy some rivets from perhaps a shoe repair place or just use countersunk pop rivets. You could try crazy glue. Clamp pieces in vise after application.
 
Given how lightly the blade brakes are used, never going downhill on the I-55 with a trailer full of firewood... They should last a long time and the glue used likely does not have to be rated for high temperature.
I would get some epoxy or some filled-epoxy such as JB Weld and use that. Make sure the metal surface has some 'grit' to it and is not polished shiny smooth so the glue has something to adhere to. I would apply using clamps to hold the pads to the brake arms. If you don't have clamps, get an assortment of rubber bands, and use as many as you think necessary. As long as the pads are held against the arm surface reasonably, the glue will set up and likely hold them just fine. This is not a high-temperature heavy-duty application. The heat generated is nothing like that of a truck or car brake system. The pads are applied for very few seconds compared to vehicle brakes, and at long separated intervals.

For my old Craftsman LT1000 I've used on the farm for 20 yrs, I scored some old worn auto brake pads with a cutoff wheel on a grinder to the size of the OEM "pads" on the mower, used a chisel to remove the cut pad piece from the metal backing, then glued them on with JB Weld. They have worked for many years.

make sure that there is no asbestos dust when you do that or your $50 saving may cost your life, or anyone else exposed.
