c. The service brakes are hydraulically actuated
a hand operated parking brake on the propeller shaft
through a pedal and master cylinder. Depressing the
pedal operates the master cylinder sending
and service brakes on the two front wheels.
b. The parking brake is a dual-shoe mechanical
hydraulic pressure to the wheel cylinders. The wheel
cylinders are the double end type and hydraulic
operated type. Actuation of the brake is accomplished
