B3030 brake warning light system.

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]I have driven off too long and too many times without realizing that the parking brake was still ON.[/FONT][/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]GREEN for "brake OFF". This serves as a circuit check.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]

[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]One of the lights is always illuminated. RED for "brake ON"[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The levered micro switch is a grounding single pole double throw switch[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]and the LEDs are powered from the key switched source at the signal-horn-head light switch.[/FONT]

That is a great idea! I have done that with my B 2320 many times.(Too many!!)

I can imagine myself driving around with the brakes AND the red light on, then I'd have to kick myself with both feet instead of just one. If I could train myself to look at the light, I could train myself to remember the brakes. I think I'd hook up a small hammer to a hydraulic cylinder that would clunk me on the head if I tried to move with the brakes on.

You make a good point . I just finished the mod today so I have yet to find out if I notice the light. Hopefully being as close to my line of sight as possible will help and I do check my gauges more often than my brakes :thumbsup:.

Just about every car or truck I have ever driven has a brake light. You get used to seeing it, and so don't think about it when you are on a tractor and it does not have a "idiot light" I don't spend nearly as much time on my tractor as I do in my car, truck, or work truck. I think it is a great idea. Maybe the only thing that I would change is to label the light "brake" so you would always be reminded as to what it is...
