DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

SERVICE BRAKES
Service brakes are wet disc, hydraulically controlled
type.
The two master cylinders, one for each pedal, are locat-
ed at the front of the cab and connected to the respec-
tive pedals by means of tie-rods.
The cylinders can be operated individually or together
when the pedals are latched together by the pin.
The cylinders are connected by a bridge pipe. This pro-
vides balanced braking even if the brake discs are worn
to a different degree.
The master cylinders are fed from a single reservoir lo-
cated under the hood and mounted on the engine by
means of a bracket.
Brake discs (one for each rear wheel) are located be-
tween the rear axle housing and final drive cases and
are splined to the differential output axle shafts.
PARKING BRAKE
The parking brake is controlled mechanically. It acts on
the rear pinion gear shaft and is controlled through a
hand lever located at the left of the driver's seat.
When the parking brake control lever is raised, the ten-
sioning cable acts on the actuator forcing the pads
against the three brake discs splined to the tractor rear
pinion gear.
