Clark C500 SERIES:
parking brake

Hey guys, have a 1976 c500-y30, that i have been fighting the brakes on for years. Previous owner installed a mico lock for a parking brake, just removed it, now my brakes are great. Parking brake does nothing, removed cable from lever on side of torque convertor housing, lever moves bout 4 inches, no resistance. Where do i go from here?

The micro brake lock was for park brake I have installed dozens over the years
Most older Clark's had a bell brake that was on trans right hand side that was operated by a cable , a very simple brake set up if it moved 4 inches either the cable is broken or they removed shoes when they installed the micro brake lock

I believe that there is a drum on the bottom of the transmission remove it and check the brake shoes the emergency brake is separate from the regulator brakes
