Torino 14 #1 Posted July 16, 2014 (edited) My parking brake lever on my auto c-175 rattles a lot. I can hear it over the engine and the mower. What is the best way to stop this? Edited July 16, 2014 by Torino Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmaynard 15,419 #2 Posted July 16, 2014 What model? If you are referring to an automatic like my C-120, the oval center hole wears and causes a lot of slop. Finding a new or good used one with a good oval hole fixed my problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Never had an auto but think of this bulletin when I hear of a rattle in the linkage Garry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daveoman1966 3,745 #4 Posted July 16, 2014 I have (had) the same issue with my Bronco 14. It is REALLY annoying. After some parts bin digging, I found a long thin spring that hooks neatly to the park brake lever and the other end to the hoodstand. The spring should have a long stem on both ends. It doesn't need to be big and heavy...just enough to stop the lever from rattling around to preclude insanity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
