PTO Brake Finger Pad for Ford 4000 Series Tractors

Description

When you’re running a brush hog or hay baler and that PTO keeps spinning after you disengage the clutch, you’ve got a problem that can’t wait. A worn-out brake finger means your implements coast to a stop on their own momentum – sometimes taking minutes instead of seconds. That’s not just inconvenient, it’s dangerous when you’re working around moving parts. This replacement brake finger gets your PTO stopping like it should, giving you instant control when you need it most.

What You’re Getting

• Friction material that grabs hold and stops that shaft cold when you disengage
• Heat-resistant compound that won’t fade after repeated use during long workdays
• Proper thickness ensures full contact with the brake drum for maximum stopping power
• Direct replacement that fits right where your worn finger used to be
• Safety component that prevents dangerous implement coasting after shutdown

Built for Real Farm Work

This finger fits your Ford 4000 series tractor – those reliable 50-65 HP workhorses that power everything from rotary cutters to hay equipment. Whether you’re running a flail mower that builds up serious momentum or operating a post hole digger that needs to stop on a dime, this brake finger handles the high-inertia implements that can keep spinning dangerously long without proper braking.

Made to Last

Farm PTO brakes take serious abuse, and this finger uses friction material that’s specifically formulated for power take-off applications. It maintains consistent grip whether it’s hot from heavy use or cold on those early morning starts. The steel backing provides the rigidity needed for positive engagement while the precise thickness ensures you get full contact with the brake surface every time.

Good to Know

When one brake finger is worn out, the others usually aren’t far behind – check them all while you’re in there. Clean any oil or grease off the brake drum surface because contamination kills braking power fast. Make sure your brake linkage and springs are in good shape too – the best finger in the world won’t help if the mechanism can’t apply proper pressure. Proper adjustment is critical – too tight causes drag and premature wear, too loose gives you that dangerous coasting you’re trying to fix.
