Try tightening the band a little bit, Too tight & they won't  set, & too loose & they won't engage .

I’ll have a go now . I didn’t know if something was missing as I can see the teeth on the bottom bit but nothing for the lever to go on it .

The way I adjust mine is to loosen the brake band, set the parking brake in the first notch, then tighten the brake band until snug and tractor doesn't free wheel.

The notched piece should be behind the U shaped piece.     Did you have it apart?
