Oliver Super 55 Parking Brake

Biglurr54 · Nov 15, 2015

I bought my first tractor. It's a Oliver Super 55. I can't find a parking brake on the tractor. That's a problem as I live and will be using it on hills. How can I park this bad boy with out it taking out the neighbors house.

There is a latch with notches on each brake pedal. while holding the pedal down pull the latchs to the rear, against the foot rest, to hold the pedals down and keep the brake applied.

That was a worry of mine. Looks like I'm missing the parking brake hardware. I do t have a log in for the parts catalog but I look long and hard for a way to lock the brakes. No such part exists on my tractor.

Here's a picture from my 550. I only have one on
the left, missing the right. Wouldn't be very hard to
make one.

Thank you for the picture. Awesome. I was wondering what the tabs on the pedals are for. I thought it was a lock that connects the two pedals. I will see if the oliver scap yard here has them. If not then I will start fabricating.

You're welcome. I don't have to use mine much as I don't have many hills. But when I do I
hate reaching way down to set the parking brake. I always thought they should have a
little hand lever to set them easier. Good Luck!
