Parking brake
Hi,
The parking brake on my ‘39 standard will not catch when pulled out. Would someone post a photo of the top side of the handle. Mine has a small plate with a flat spring attached with a hose clamp and it works, remove the hose clamp and the spring and it won’t catch. I have photos but the site won’t upload them.

Re: Parking brake
Let me know if 1939 is the same as the 1940 DeLuxe. If so, I will post lots of E-brake photos showing it's assembly. Here's a start.

Re: Parking brake
I can't see where that spring goes on my 40. Is it hidden inside?
Does it actuate the metal "pawl" shown in 2nd photo? I have the feeling that the small clevis pin with the small cotter pin goes thru that spring and that it rides on that pin. |

Re: Parking brake
Take photos as you disassemble and before things fly apart.

Re: Parking brake
It is quite common for that spring to be broken. I made a spring out of spring wire and some heat. Not a great solution, nothing like the original. Who makes them? Good Luck: Fred A

Re: Parking brake
Macs has them probably others. A well stocked local hardware probably hS something that would work with some creative bending. Easier if you have some of the old spring to match though

Re: Parking brake
If the picture loads the pin/bolt that mounts the pawl goes through the spring inside the parking brake. The short end of the spring goes against the pawl the long end goes to a "tab" cut out of the parking brake "mount".
