Parking Brake Light?

[gdrew]

The one that looks like a tank with a tear drop inside and two arrows pointing inward is your oil pressure indicator. I know that one now as mine came on when I hit a old tipped over t-post buried in weeds and that tore a hole in my oil pan. I didn't know what the light was at the time but fortunately shut the engine down to check it out as the last of the oil finished running out of the crankcase Still don't know why that is supposed to represent oil pressure(??).
The one with a spline gear turning indicates the PTO is running.
I have no idea what the one that looks like two pots side by side, one of them with a hinged lid, is. Can't even give a good guess.

We're thinking that's the split brakes symbol.

As far as your brake light goes, Unfortunately I have no idea where that missing wire originates. On my 4720 however, the parking light switch is independent of the brake light switch. Each has their own switch. The parking brake switch is mounted below the park brake lever. Yours may be different. Do your brake lights still come on when you step on the brakes? If you could find a wiring diagram it would help.

I didn't get a chance to play with it today but I'll try to confirm if it has brake lights tomorrow. I'm thinking there are no brake lights or they're stuck on because the red lights are on when I'm off the tractor and I'm quite sure its a single element bulb (1156).

If there is anyone out there with a 2400h that can tell me if they have foot brake activated brake lights I would be forever grateful.

I do have a small park brake switch located just below the hand brake lever (see above pictures) also hoping someone with the same model tractor can see and hopefully photograph where the wire for the switch goes. I'll post some more pictures of the park brake switch area tomorrow which should look a little cleaner since I power washed that general area yesterday.

Cheers

Just to solve some of the mystery around the dashboard icons, I found this in the service manual:

Still don't know what the one labeled "QT" is supposed to be(??) The one labeled water separator I always wrongly assumed was radiator fluid level.

I looked in my Owners Manual. Many similar symbols. A few that are not used on my model. Nothing that even closely resembles your Q/T symbol. I wonder - are there Bransons with a sensor on the quick attach bracket?? Good morning - Cougsfan.

Yes, the big boy 7845 does have a switch when it reaches max height on the 3 pt. Will then turn that light On on the dash. But this tractor does have a electric over hydraulic control for the 3 pt.

From the 15 Series and up, they also have a the switch at the 3 pt lift arms but it's used to turn the PTO off if the switch is on the Linked mode. I suppose Branson could use this same switch to turn the same light on the dash for the smaller tractor though.

No idea what that symbol stands for my 8050 has it but it's labeled NA in the manual;

Sorry, I've been away for a while. Just to follow-up I can confirm I do have brake lights and they are activated when you apply the foot brake and when the hand brake is applied. I've only ever seen them on in the past because when I'm off the tractor when its running the hand brake is applied so the brake lights are on.

Also, I'm still hoping someone can assist with the issue I'm having in the blue fort above. A wiring diagram could also be very helpful in figuring this out as it getting frustrating not having a dash parking brake light to remind me to disengage the brake prior to driving the tractor.

Thanks again!

Unfortunately, the service manual mentions nothing about a parking brake light. Not even on the electric diagram.

On the other hand, I do have the light and I still forget about it sometimes. If you end up adding an external light, you may also want to add a beeper.

I have no idea how or were it is wired in but the system on my 8050 is ideal,
when you apply the parking brake it does NOT indicate that it is on but when you move the power shuttle into forward or reverse it is electrically interrupted and a beeper starts going off and the forward / reverse lights start flashing, it will not actuate the forward or reverse clutch packs untill you release the parking brake and reengage the direction selector.
It is a better setup then the IH Puma or NH 6050 have, they both have power shuttles and parking brakes that you can quite easily ignore and drive away with them on.
