When you’re working on slopes or need to secure your tractor for maintenance, a reliable parking brake is essential. If your hand brake feels loose, doesn’t hold properly, or you’re seeing frayed cable, it’s time for a replacement. This 56-inch brake cable connects your parking brake lever to the brake system, giving you the peace of mind that your tractor will stay put when you need it to.
What You’re Getting
- Heavy-duty construction that handles constant flexing and farm conditions
- Precise 56-inch length for proper routing through the tractor frame
- Quality cable housing that resists moisture and dirt infiltration
- Direct replacement that installs just like the original
Built for Real Farm Work
This cable fits Case IH Maxxum MX series tractors from the 80 to 135 horsepower range. Whether you’re running a compact MX80 for around the farmyard or a bigger MX135 for heavy field work, these are versatile tractors that handle everything from loader work to cultivating. The parking brake gets used more than you might think—securing the tractor while hooking implements, working on slopes, or during maintenance.
Made to Last
Farm tractors put brake cables through a lot. Temperature swings, vibration, and exposure to dirt and moisture all take their toll. This replacement cable features corrosion-resistant construction and a durable outer housing that protects the inner cable from contamination. The cable itself is built to handle the repeated stress of engaging and releasing the parking brake.
Good to Know
Installation involves routing the new cable through the same path as the old one and adjusting tension at both ends. Check that the brake engages properly and holds the tractor securely before putting it back to work. While you’ve got things apart, it’s a good time to inspect the brake pads or bands for wear.
