E-Brake on Tcase or Drums? (1 Viewer)

[MarcoPolo]

My 76-40 came not with an e-brake... motor & body numbers are correct for the year. I've replace the hand pull under the dash now and looking for what is suppose to be next. Did this LC come with the tcase ebrake? I'm not sure I'm seein such an item under there to connect to, but prob to the drums... & more so I'm uncertain of which cable to buy for it. Thanx

Should be on the rear of the transfer case.


The design of the Land Cruiser drum brakes prior to 08/80 does not permit a parking brake.

Thanks Poser... what exactly am I looking for? & does it attach at the top or where... Like I said.. a bit in the dark here knowing what to look for.

Ya.....No..... If what you've got there is typ of the tcase brake, I sure I don't have that on mine. Just looked again and the driveline connects directly to the tcase. There's a cable inner connected between the drums in the rear, at the level with the axle. So what's the cable I'm looking for to connect to that?

Like this? This is on a 5 speed box too so its closer to the cross member than normal.

Mine does not look that close to the frame member. Mine is easily 2-3" away from that. On your first pic, the cable I see there-on mine if I'm not mistake (or maybe so) isn't that the speedo cable going into the case?
And just as ur pic shows, to me, there is no tcase drum brake.

Do you have a full float rear axle or a semi floating rear axle?

I don't know if I've ever been asked that before....are ou getting fresh with me now......
I don't know that answer. Had the truck about 2 years now..... and a busy life outside of it....

You are sans e-brake. Is that a toyota tranfer case? It attaches to a longer output shaft and would probably hit your cross member...

Sounds like your rear axle and transfer case are from a later year than your truck is. If I'm not mistaken that axle and transfer case were introduced in '81 or '82.

Ok-


Your pictures have cleared up that you have a later transfer case and transmission in your truck. The split case in the USA was introduced in 08/80, the same time that the rear axle housing changed, the rear brakes changed and the parking brake was installed on the rear axle, opposed to the transfer case.


It is not unreasonable to think that someone just swapped in a later four speed and transfer case assembly, with no care about the parking brake. I would be very surprised to find that you have a later rear axle assembly as well.

Post up a few pictures of your rear axle: Show the backing plate, where the brake fluid tubes attach to the wheel cylinder/s.
