Short Left Hand Handbrake Cable for David Brown 996/1390 and Compatible Series Tractors

Description

When you’re parking on a slope or securing your tractor for maintenance work, a handbrake that won’t hold puts you and your equipment at risk. This 44-inch left-hand handbrake cable restores the reliable parking brake function that’s essential for safe operation around the farm, whether you’re loading hay on an incline or just need to step away from the tractor during daily chores.

What You’re Getting

• Short-length cable at exactly 44 inches (1130mm) for proper routing and tension
• Left-hand configuration designed for specific brake system requirements
• Direct replacement quality that matches the durability of your original cable
• Precise fitment eliminates guesswork and ensures reliable brake function

Built for Real Farm Work

This cable fits a wide range of David Brown tractors including the popular 996 and 1390 models, along with the 880, 990, 995, and extended series from 1190 through 1594. These tractors are commonly used for row crop farming, dairy operations, mixed farming, and custom work. The 990-996 series models are ideal for smaller farms and specialty crop operations where maneuverability matters as much as power. Whether you’re running a compact 880 or a larger 1594, this cable provides the same reliable parking brake control.

Made to Last

Farm work means your handbrake cable faces constant stress from vibration, weather, and regular use. This replacement is built with the same attention to durability as the original, using materials that resist stretching and fraying even after years of daily operation. The proper 44-inch length prevents over-tension that can cause sudden failure while ensuring enough travel for complete brake engagement.

Installation Notes

Always secure your tractor on level ground with wheel chocks before starting any brake work – never trust a failing handbrake during replacement. The left-hand designation is critical for proper routing, so double-check your application before installation. Take a photo of the original cable routing to ensure the new one follows the exact same path, avoiding sharp bends or contact with hot exhaust components.
