Brake pedals

On my WD, it's awkward to push both brake pedals at the same time. On other tractors in my past there was usually some kind of mechanism that would tie both pedals together, so that when you pushed one, you pushed both, but my WD has no such thing.

Is this normal, or is my WD missing something?

There was never any factory method to lock them together. They are close enough that I have never found it a problem to push both at once.

I think this is normal. My wd45 is the same way....wish I had one of those locks too, but would be a real bugger when I need to turn short. Oh the delema....make one or not?

Well, the ones on the John Deere B I drove growing up, the lock was easily engaged/disengaged. I would assume you would engage it when driving somewhere, and disengage it when working in the field.

I'll have to think about this...

Yes, you are supposed to disengage the lock for field work and lock the pedals for road. However if the brakes are not adjusted exactly equal locking them will apply one more than the other. With the AC method you can compensate, or equalize as you brake by your food pushing a little more or less one or the other. There is no need for a lock, just get used to the pedals.

Getting used to your pedals is fine, however I would suggest you adjust your pedals equally to avoid any problems in a panic stop. It can happen even on a slow moving farm tractor (such as running into the side of the barn etc.) Jack

John the JD B that I drove as a kid had the brakes separated by about 2 feet (on opposite sides of the seat). Was there another version of the B that had the brakes located next to each other? Just curious....

Hmmm. I *THINK* it was the 'B'. It's only been 20 years, and I was about 10 at the time the B gave up the ghost. It might have been the Farmall we got to replace it eventually, or the International Diesel.

But I think it was the John Deere. Who knows. They made them for almost 20 years. Maybe they tweaked them over time...

THe two cylinder John Deere's always had the left brake operated by the left foot and the right brake operated by the right. You had to have something for your left foot to do since there was no clutch pedal.
