Description

There’s nothing worse than setting your tractor’s parking brake and having it slip when you’re working on uneven ground or steep slopes. When your hand brake won’t hold reliably, it’s usually because the pawl—the small but crucial piece that locks into the brake ratchet—is worn, damaged, or not engaging properly. This replacement pawl ensures your parking brake locks securely every time you set it.

What You’re Getting

Precision-cast pawl that matches original factory specifications for proper engagement
Heat-treated steel construction designed to handle the stress of brake system operation
Proper spring tension design ensures reliable locking and smooth release
Direct replacement part—no modifications or adjustments needed

Built for Real Farm Work

This pawl is engineered for Massey Ferguson 600 series tractors including the 690, 698, and 699 models. These are serious farm tractors used for everything from heavy tillage and planting to loader work and hay operations. When you’re working on hillsides, backing up to implements, or just need to step off the tractor safely, you need a parking brake that holds without question.

Made to Last

The hand brake system on your Massey Ferguson sees constant use and needs parts that can handle repeated engagement cycles. This pawl is manufactured from quality steel with proper heat treatment to resist wear and maintain its shape under the spring pressure that keeps it engaged with the ratchet mechanism.

Good to Know

Installation typically requires removing the brake handle assembly to access the pawl mechanism. While you’re in there, it’s smart to check the condition of the ratchet teeth and spring—if the pawl was worn enough to need replacement, these components might need attention too. A little grease on the pivot points during reassembly keeps everything working smoothly.
