Rear Output Drive and Transmission Brake Assembly



Rear Output Drive And Transmission Brake Assembly

As shown in the illustration, the rear output flange drives the parking brake drum. A backing plate with brake shoes is attached to the transfer gearbox case. When the brake shoes are applied, the drum locks the rear output and propeller shaft and in doing so acts on the front output and propeller shaft - a very effective 4 wheel parking brake.
