Bx 23 mod Parking Brake Light

[kenneyz]

I know my profile says new member but I've been around on and off for a few years now....anyhow my point is I had the same issue with my bx2200, and did the same mod right after I got it, a small metal momentary toggle sw hooked to the brake pedal via a spring. Somewhere in the history of this forum are the pics of my mod, If I get the chance I'll snap some new ones and post. Mine has been done for three years and over 300hrs in all kinds of mud, snow ect and still works great! I think the issue with the brake is that the engine and tranny are powerfull enough to overcome it, don't forget it's a wet system, not dry like a car, so they will slip if forced. I'm just getting ready to do all fuilds and some general maintance and I was thinking of checking the adjustment on my brakes...since I'm gonna have my face under there and all! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Maybe Baby needs to have the linkage adjusted. The brakes should do a fair job of holding if they are adjusted right. I don't know how steep of an incline you are talking about, but on a moderate slope they should hold. I do agree that I drop an implement if I plan to leave mine sit on a slope much though.
Of course, if you drive around much with the brakes on, you'll probably need to adjust them again.
