On my TC40D the parking brake does not want to stay locked in. It is hard to engage and then when it does engage, it will pop loose sometimes by itself and sometimes when you get off of the tractor (I think putting weight on the step on the brake side of the tractor releases it). Looking at it, the bar that the parking brake lever teeth engage to lock the brake, is worn or rounded to the point it won't hold the brake. Has anyone had this problem? I will talk to the dealer soon, I wanted to get some input first.
It would be easy to fix by grinding the bar down or re-sharpening it but it appears that the metal is not hard enough to hold up.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
