When that parking brake starts slipping or won’t engage properly, it’s usually this disc that’s worn smooth or damaged. A reliable hand brake isn’t just about convenience—it’s essential safety equipment that keeps your tractor put when you step off to open gates, hook up implements, or work around the machine.

Built for Real Farm Work
This hand brake disc is designed specifically for Ford Super Major tractors, those reliable workhorses from the 1960s that are still earning their keep on farms today. Whether your Super Major is pulling hay equipment, running a PTO-driven mill, or serving as the dependable utility tractor around the farmstead, having a hand brake you can trust is crucial for safe operation.
Made to Last
Hand brake components take a beating from weather, dust, and the constant pressure of holding a multi-ton tractor in place. This disc is built to handle those demands with materials and construction that match the original specifications, ensuring it’ll provide years of reliable service.
Good to Know
Replacing the hand brake disc typically requires removing the brake drum and may involve adjusting the brake mechanism once the new disc is installed. It’s a good time to inspect the brake shoes and springs for wear while you’ve got everything apart. A properly adjusted hand brake should hold the tractor securely on reasonable slopes without requiring excessive lever force.
