BRAKE SYSTEM
5C-5
SECTION 5C. PARKING BRAKE
GENERAL
The brake system used on the LF-1880 is a mechani-
cal disc brake system actuated by a left and right brake
cable. The disc brake act as service brakes and a park-
ing brake.
The brake caliper (Figure 5C-1) contains the brake
pads, support plates, spring lever retainer, and actuat-
ing lever.
CABLES
The brake cables (Figure 5C-1) are connected to the
brake pedal and the actuating lever. When pushed, the
brake pedal pulls on the cables, which pulls the actuat-
ing lever. The actuating lever has a cam type lobe,
which pushes the inner support plate and pad against
the brake disc, stopping the tractor.
As the pads wear, the cables can be adjusted to com-
pensate for the wear. When released, a return spring
moves the actuating lever to the released position.
