The 174-4500 Brake Pedal Kit for C-Series All Wheel Steer Backhoe Loaders is now available. This kit features a brake pedal linkage that reduces the amount of force that must be applied to the brake pedal. Consequently, the operator experiences less fatigue to stop the machine or to hold the machine in place.

The 174-4500 Brake Pedal Kit is a direct replacement for the prior pedal and bracket. The kit comes assembled and ready to install, when ordered through the factory in Clayton, North Carolina using a miscellaneous machine shipping order.

REHS0388 Field Installation of the 174-4500 Brake Pedal Kit is included with the kit. The Special Instruction is also available through normal channels.
