Description
When you’re parked on a slope or working with heavy equipment, your handbrake isn’t just convenient—it’s essential safety equipment that could save your life. A stretched or fraying handbrake cable leaves you with no reliable way to secure your David Brown, whether it’s a 996 working small fields or a big 1394 handling heavy implements. This long 56-inch right-hand cable is specifically engineered for these larger David Brown models where standard cables simply won’t reach or route properly.
What You’re Getting
- Full 56-inch length provides proper reach for David Brown 996, 1390, and 1394 models
- Right-hand configuration ensures correct routing without binding against frame components
- Direct replacement quality that meets original equipment specifications
- Durable cable construction resists stretching, corrosion, and the demanding conditions of farm work
- Complete cable assembly ready to install with proper end fittings
Built for Real Farm Work
This cable is designed for David Brown tractors from the mid-80s through the 90s that were built to handle serious work. Your 996 might be pulling a disc harrow through tough ground, while the 1390 and 1394 models often work with heavy mounted implements like sprayers or large cultivators. These tractors frequently work on slopes, around other equipment, and in situations where secure parking prevents dangerous runaways.
Made to Last
Farm work is tough on cables—constant flexing, exposure to weather, and the inevitable contact with sharp edges take their toll. This cable uses quality steel strands and protective housings that handle the stress without premature failure. The right-hand routing prevents binding that causes rapid wear, while the proper 56-inch length eliminates the tension problems that come from using incorrect cables.
Good to Know
The 56-inch length isn’t negotiable on these models—shorter cables won’t reach, and longer ones create dangerous slack. Route the cable exactly as the original, keeping it clear of exhaust components and moving parts. Test the full range of motion after installation to ensure the brake engages completely and releases fully without binding.
