T4.75 Power Star transmission problem

[Piston]

They get quite a few more options, including a high lift capacity 3 or hitch of I think around 5k lbs. Google t4 power star uk brochure or something along those lines. You should find a pdf with all the specs.

Yes, It was a UK spec'd T4.75

where did you see the info on the Euro Model T4.75 with hand brake?

All tractors in U.K. And Europe have to have a proper hand brake fitted as standard

Koroman Do you know if there is an upgrade kit to install a hand brake available or parts to make one up on US tractors? My dealer says no and I've looked and have not found any parts lists showing a hand brake. It can be a real pain trying to hookup 3pt implements using Park. Would love to add a hand brake of some type.

As my father got older and used tractors were still relatively cheap he bought a tractor for each major implement and just left them on their respective tractors. He ended up with four units and never took the implements off.

Jack,

There is no kit to install a park brake like you want. NH is not working on anything that dealers were made aware of either.

This is unfortunate as this is one of the small annoying things that make the T4.75 a near miss - otherwise a nice chore tractor.

They also have other standard options like LH/RH dip lights, extra guards, mirrors, beacon mounts and that crazy hood latch.

Here's an update on my t 4.75/handbrake. A very helpful individual from across the big Pond (Great Britain) Helped me find all the parts to install a hand brake on my T 4.75!! All bolted right in with no modifications to the tractor except one bracket which had to be remanufactured because it was no longer available through NH. I was able to get an engineered drawing of the bracket which helped make it. I now have a hand brake in this tractor!! Didn't realize how much I missed a hand brake. I very rarely if ever use the the transmission "parking Pawl/brake" anymore. If anyone wants the information on the handbrake let me know and I'll pass it along.

The attached Parking Brake Parts pdf are the hand brake parts I ordered from the dealer in England (expensive shipping from England) (after checking online I now think these parts are available here also) and they all bolted right in with no modifications including hooking the cables to the brake cylinders. I just removed an access plate on the floor beside the seat Parking Brake Floor Mount pdf attached and installed the parking brake handle and cables Parking Brake Handle Installed pdf attached. I had to cut out a piece of the plastic cover for the handle.

The original brake cable brackets sent from England were wrong but I found the left one here. I changed out the rear tank bracket with part #84367147 New Fuel Tank Bracket with attached Brake Bracket pdf on the left side. My dealer was able to get this part for me after I gave him the part number. The right side was another story. The part # 84382044 the right side bracket is not available currently (maybe NH will make it available soon), but I was able to get an engineered drawing of the bracket Brake Bracket Drawing pdf. and ordered a duplicate of the right bracket on my tractor #84296099 then remanufactured it using parts of the wrong bracket that was sent from England #48081225 Brake Brackets Purchased pdf attached. I removed the longer cable brackets leaving the shorter one, cut down the back plate of the wrong bracket then attached it to the duplicate bracket Brake Bracket Right Side Made from two pdf attached. I then replaced the right bracket on the tractor and attached the cables to the remanufactured bracket, the transmission and the right brake cylinder. After adjusting the parking brake handle the parking brakes works ok.

I had problems converting the metric measurements and I attached the cable bracket for the right brake approx. 3/8 inch to close to the brake cylinder causing the saddle in the parking brake handle to not be level but it works! Maybe some day I will fix the bracket or better yet maybe NH will make the correct right bracket available in the USA that I can purchase. But for now no more leaving the tractor in neutral while hooking up implements. I can set the brake and it stays right where I backed it to. I don't have to worry about rolling it back and forth to get the parking pawl to engage. I rarely if ever use the transmission parking pawl now. This will be much safer for my kids and myself. Currently looking into how to hook up parking brake warning light. If I get this figured out I'll post also.

The original parts were $440.00 plus shipping $155 from England then I bought the left tank bracket and the right bracket here for $178.00 plus shipping.

Hope this helps let me know how you make out.
