Good afternoon, it has been a while since I have written. Still a dedicated reader!
I have a persistent (recently developed) problem with my Ford 2910 "emergency" brake system. The emergency brake setup is basically a spring-loaded t-handle which, when pulled, causes a pawl with teeth to engage the same kind of pawl on the regular brake pedal. So, in a way, it's just a mechanical means to keep the regular brake pedal depressed.
Well, it has worked great for years. I could leave the tractor pointing uphill and never worry.
Now, the teeth engage but slip out of engagement all by themselves, I hear a click and the tractor is free to roll (which it has done on a few occasions). I have tried to "sharpen" the teeth (hard to do it on the brake pedal in place, don't really want to pull it off). I have also made the t-handle spring exert more tension by adding a spacer. Nothing really works.
The setup is so simple that I cannot figure out what else I can do. There is really not much to repair or replace. So, as usual, any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
