Some of you may remember that I repowered an 800 Special for a neighbor. The problem is that somewhere back in time someone removed the parking brake assembly and I can't even find any pictures or drawings of what it should look like.
Any suggestions how I can lock the Brake / Clutch lever down so it does not roll when stopped ? :eek:
Thanks in advance !

The pictures look a lot like my newer 1990 Wheel Horse. The brake is on the left side and the brake band by the left rear wheel. The parking brake lever is a small lever by the shift lever. But don't know if yours would be the same or not? If you think so I will get into more for you.

Thanks reynoldston,
I found some diagrams on a WheelHorse forum, but I will need to actually have the drawings and the tractor together to see what should work where.
The brake band is on the left (facing the front) and the clutch/brake lever is pushed by the left foot - I would guess it is something that holds that brake lever down so the brake band is still engaged and drive belt is not engaged.
