NO BRAKES!! Mc crawler

Post by monzanick » Tue Aug 07, 2012 7:54 pm

It runs and moves,but no stopping. What I mean is the tracks move and steer. the left pedal is clutch. the right pedal is there for looks right now. is it for the brakes? it was pretty fun to get off the trailer, line her up and I was going weather i wanted to or not. I know brakes just slow ya down but I think there should be some type of hill holder right?
?

I'm looking fer manuals too. any suggestions on what I should get?
its my first crawler. I grew up wit john deere green tractors.

this thing is sure a different can 'o worms

LOL my 420 had no brakes either. Set the blade down and it held, otherwise stop it in gear.

I always use the steering brakes for unloading you have good control you can ease them down to make it go if it don't roll by itself and then pull back right away to slow it down. Of course you need to get the regular ones fixed. probably broken linkage.

Brake rods might be rusted off, or just an adjustment. I might have a couple manuals left, can check.
