Built for Real Farm Work

Your Ford works everywhere from flat bottom ground to steep hillsides, and this brake button is crucial when you’re changing implements or parking on slopes where a rolling tractor can be deadly. Whether you’re locking brakes together for even stopping power during transport or securing your tractor at the barn, a functioning brake release isn’t just convenient – it’s a safety essential.

Made to Last

Installation Notes

Replacing a hand brake button typically takes 30-45 minutes and usually requires accessing the mechanism through the transmission tunnel in AP-cab Fords. While you’re in there, clean and lubricate the mechanism and check the brake adjustment – proper maintenance extends service life significantly. Test operation several times before trusting it to ensure the brake engages fully and releases cleanly every time.
