Charles, I'm pretty sure the connector you saw is for a trailer. It may even have trailer brake power wired into that connector. I'd say $21,500 is a great price for that tractor.
I have had my parking brake apart one time to clean the pawl pivot bushing that used to bind when my tractor was new. There was some rust and dirt in there that got cleaned out and it works smoothly now. I think you can get it apart since your subframe looks the same as mine for my 16LA loader, not sure. I think If I were you, I'd try to remove the pawl, grind in new teeth, and bend it so it engages the pedal in a different spot from where the V-slot is. You just might save yourself a couple hundred bucks and end up with something that works better than most. What can it hurt to try before buying parts?
