I even bought and have in my stock for my conversion the Yamaha brake caliper, pads, etc. that come as a complete system. This article was from the extinct Yahoo groups website.

Nice clean looking set up .

I thought so too David. For me the whole solution just seemed to melt into the Case/Ingersoll plan for our GT's. Looked more natural actually than their solution and well you know the rest.

So I got to thinking about my sandrail I used to have. When I built it, I replaced the rear drum brakes and converted it to disc. With the brakes, I also put in a cutting brake and also installed a hydraulic line lock as a parking brake. That cutting brake worked great. I'd have to think that would work on our tractors that doesn't have room for 2 side by side master cyl and pedals. Install a single master cyl and plumb in the cutting brake. Then you can control wheel lock up.

Oooh... That is slick! 1 handle controlling 2 brake lines - I was used to the low buck mechanical method of splitting the park brake cables and using 2 handles so you could engage the park brake on one side or the other, or pull up on both for proper "parking brake"
