Seperate brake pedal on 100
 

I'm working on fixing up a 100 and while it's dismantled I decided to seperate the brake pedal from the clutch pedal to make it more like a real tractor. It will also make it easier to take off uphill without the tractor rolling backwards between the time the brake releases and the clutch engages. I've got everything figured out and I just need to finish making the pieces. I'm making the brake pedal a mirror image of the clutch pedal so it will look like it came that way from the factory. I'll try to post some pics tomorrow and as this project progresses.

Looking forward to the pictures IHinIN.
:GoodLuck: On with your project :ThumbsUp:

Good luck, on your project, IHinIN! Can't wait to see your pics. :beerchug:

Here are some pics for you guys. The brake seems to work pretty well. I need to get some stronger return springs for the pedals. When I push down hard on the brake pedal it causes the clutch pedal to pull down about 1/8". A stronger spring should take care of that. The only things I had to alter on the tractor were drilling a hole for the return spring to hook into and a knockout hole for a roll pin and I had to cut 2.25" off the clutch pedal pivot rod.

A couple more pics.

Nice work ..... Great Job....:ThumbsUp:

Nice fabrication IHinIN :ThumbsUp:
That ought to work really great.

Great job! I put split brakes on a 782 that I have. How do you lock the pedal down for a parking brake?

Great fab work!

Only issue I see may be if you use a front implement that requires a lift rod. May hit the pedal. My clutches are so sensitive, there's not much travel for the tractor to roll between releasing the brake and the clutch engaging. Now, turning brakes would be cool, not necessary, but cool looking. I think there was another kid in Indiana who did that to a custom narrow front 100 a while back. Can't think of his name. He posts on the IHRegstry.com site. I mispelled it on purpose cause for some childish reason Regstry comes up with ******** if you spell it right.

Anyway, you're right. Looks factory to me.

Awesome job, IHinIN! Thanks for the pics. :beerchug:
