Here's my silly question: We have a 1922 Fordson that is being restored; we haven't had it running yet so no need to stop it yet. It has a single "clutch" pedal. Our question is where is the brake (that is how do you stop it once it's moving?)? My father didn't care for my idea of running into a brick wall every time. My father remembers that the Ford Model T cars had a single "clutch" pedal with the brake inside the transmission. Was this year Fordson tractor the same?

In late 1924, the cluch plates had built-in brake plates. You would press down on the clutch petal past the point of resistance, and the brake would then engage. These didn't work very well. The best and safest way to stop is to drop the throttle and engage the clutch. Question: how complete is your tractor? Do you have the original factory manifold? Your manifold should be a Holly 238, which is a rare manifold. And if you have the 1 gallon cast starting tank--DON'T SELL IT. It's worth around $200 and is extremely hard to find. My fordson is a 1924 with a mix of parts. My manifold is a later gas-only type with an extremely rare gas carborator designed for the fordson. I found out only last week it was worth about 400 dollars this was really great to find out because it was a gift from an old timer. My dash is from 1920 and I'm using a F4 magneto. These work really good. I also have the coilbox for looks and Electric Wheel Co. spoke rims that were also given to me. Anyway, write back and I'll try to help if I can with parts. I'm new at this hobbie too, but really enjoy it and helping when I can because so many people helped me start off.

Leonard: I posted a response on Tractor Talk also. The Model T parking brake used the transmission bands inside the transmission but the right hand pedal on the Model T vehicle is the
wheel brake pedal. The early Model F tractors had
no brakes at all, later Models did have a transmission brake of sorts operated with the clutch pedal. I would have to do a bit of research to determine the Year/month Ford began using transmission brakes on the Model F tractor.
Model T vehicles only had brakes on the rear wheels. Model F tractors never did have wheel brakes.
