TT-(Moderator) 1,131 #5 Posted March 18, 2011 It has a pawl that engages the teeth of one of the gears inside the case - very similar to an automatic car/truck transmission. The tractor must be completely stopped before engaging the parking brake or the pawl will be damaged. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
