502 brake set lever

[Bbrown 2]

My 502 doesn’t have a brake set lever , I just put a new brake lining on and would like to get a lever to make the brake system 100%. My parts brake down shows it as part # 4417, I found one on eBay but sells says it’s for a 605 and is a different wheel horse number. I’m finding part numbers sometime are misleading, does anyone know if a 502 and 605 share a common brake lever or where I might find one ?

I believe they are the same, someone correct me if im wrong. I've got tons of those if you're interested PM me.

Rich I have done some more digging and correct me if I’m wrong. It looks like the 605 lever sits low down near the brake drum and you push it down to lock , the 502 has a cut out in the tin and the lever points upward and you would pull it reword to lock. I could be way off as I’m finding very little information or pictures.

I believe the difference would be on the notches on the bottom. The one for the 502 would only have one notch so you would have to have your brake set just so for it work. The one for the 605 will have many notches allowing you more choices on your locking position.  As far as interchange ability, I do think that they would interchange. I'll try to get some pics showing the difference.

You're correct, the upper portion of the handle is different. Here is a pic of the one on my 855 (same as a 605 handle)

 

This is a pic of the one on my 633 (same as your 502 handle)

 

You should be able to use a lever on yours from any 1962 - 1964 model. Incase you did not know. The last number in the model number will indicate the year of the tractor from 1960 - 1967. Your 502 would be a 1962.

Achto that is exactly what I was looking for! Your 633 looks awesome just from that picture, I can only imagine what the rest looks like. Thank you I will continue my search . Living on a hill I think the parking brake is a necessity, the only flat spot I have is in my barn.

This is on  a 702 but should be the same. I may have one if @Easton Rich doesn't. Be a few days before I can look.
