After reading the posts on the driving with the parking brake on problem, I decided to install a switch and dash light to indicate when the brake is on. Less than 1 hour to install and $10 in parts seems to be a inexpensive custom add on. All parts can be purchased at Radio Shack or similar store. I used a normally open magnetic switch from an alarm system and installed it on the underside rail next to the brake pedal horizontal lever and ran wires to a 12 volt light mounted on the dash and then mounted the magnet on the horizontal brake pedal lever so when the brake is pushed down the magnet activates the switch closing the circuit so the light comes on. Just look under the tractor and push on the brake and you will see how to do it. I used epoxy to secure the switch and magnet then I sealed the switch with silicone. This set up works well for me. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
