Emergency brake for 29

Post by JPP »

Hi, I am looking for a picture of the brake rod setup for the emergency brakes on my 131 1/2 long 1929 AA frame.

JPP -

If no one posts a pic for you before I return from camping, I will crawl under my truck and take some for you. Is there a specific area you are asking about?

Yes, I am looking from the hubs forward to where they engage with the emergency brake shaft. What length are those rods?

The rod lengths listed above are for the rod that goes from the emergency brake lever to the cross shaft. I think JPP is referring to the rods that go from the cross shaft to the rear hubs which would be 59 3/4" long for a '28-'29 AA.

Hi, my truck is missing the cross shaft, so if someone could snap a picture from the rear facing the cross shaft, so i can get a clean look at it, it would really help.

Here is a close up of mine after cleaning and servicing, make sure the rod from the handbrake lever fits in to the lower hole on the arm, I read some where that the hole at the top is for when the brake bands are worn and there is no adjustment left on the rods.
Regards Brian.
