Help! I need Photos & Dimensions from a Raider 8 or 10 Brake Part

[BradKahler 379]

I'm in the process of swapping the 3-speed from my 1966 656 with an 8-speed from a Raider 8.  After reviewing the parts list I've come to the conclusion that the only part that is different for the brake/clutch mechanism is the rod from the pivot to the brake band.  The 656 uses rod # 3935 and the Raider 8 uses rod # 9599.  According the the picture in the parts book the 9599 rod has a kink in it.  I've got a rod # 103538 that looks very similar to the 9599 rod but it's a mirror image. 

 

Unfortunately pictures don't provide dimensions and angles so what I'm hoping for is someone can possibly take some pictures from their 72-74 Raider 8, Raider 10, Commando 800, or 73 8 HP 8-speed, or 10 HP 8-speed.  

 

With pictures and dimensions I should have no trouble making a useable facsimile of 9599.

 

Thanks!!

Brad are you adding a second pedal?

 

The 3 speed tractors all had a single pedal. 

 

I believe all the 8 speed tractors had two pedals.  

 

That'll cause an issue with linkage.

Not an issue using the correct Raider brake rod. I did the 8 speed swap on my 854. Only thing I gave up on was the parking brake hookup (1st gear in Low Range works about as well)
