HAND BRAKE BAND

Hand brake band for tractor Case IH - equivalent 1964074C3 / 3057407R21

Safety is an essential component of agricultural work, especially when maneuvering or parking a tractor on sloping or uneven ground. The handbrake band, also known as the brake strap, is a crucial braking element in ensuring that the tractor is held firmly and reliably at a standstill.

The reference offered here is a handbrake band equivalent to manufacturer references 1964074C3 and 3057407R21, perfectly suited to a large number of Case IH tractors from the most popular series: 43, 44, 45, 55, 56 and Classique.

At Camagris, specialists in spare parts for agricultural tractors, we offer you this robust, reliable handbrake strap model, compatible with original mountings, to guarantee the safety of your machines in all circumstances.

Technical specifications of the handbrake strap

• Brake drum diameter: 305 mm

• Band width: 40 mm

• Drilling: 14 mm

• Mounting: on rear drum, transmission or PTO (depending on model)

• Materials: reinforced friction lining riveted to metal structure

The band is designed to wrap partially around a brake drum. When actuated by the handbrake lever, it clamps the drum, blocking rotational movements and ensuring effective mechanical braking even in the absence of hydraulic or electrical power.

Role of the brake strap on an agricultural tractor

The handbrake strap is a simple, mechanical system that performs several functions:

• It immobilizes the tractor when stationary, whether parking on flat or sloping ground.

• It secures emergency stops, especially on older models without a hydraulic parking brake.

• It complements the main braking system by acting directly on the transmission or PTO, depending on the version.

This system is independent of the wheel brakes, making it particularly useful when the tractor is stopped with the engine off, or in the event of a pressure failure.

✅ Compatibility with Case IH tractors

The brake band offered here is perfectly suited to many tractor models Case IH, spread across several historical series. Here's the full list of compatible models:

When should a handbrake band be replaced?

A brake band is a wearing part. There are several signs that it needs replacing:

• The handbrake lever rises too high without locking the tractor.

• Handbrake no longer holds even on flat ground.

• The band is damaged, worn or has lost its friction lining.

• Sliding or metal-to-metal noises are heard when the brake is activated.

A visual check of the belt condition is recommended before carrying out any work on the gearbox, transmission or PTO.

Installation tips

Replacing a brake strap requires a certain methodology:

1. Place the tractor on stanchions and secure.

2. Remove the belt housing or access cover.

3. Loosen the pins and remove the old strap.

4. Clean drum contact surfaces (without greasy solvents).

5. Fit the new belt in the correct orientation.

6. Tighten fasteners to recommended torque.

7. Readjust handbrake cable or linkage tension.

8. Carry out a static test (when stationary), followed by a test on a gentle incline.

Camagris tip: take advantage of belt replacement to check the condition of the drum, transmission sprockets and control cable. Lubricating the axles can also improve the longevity of the assembly.
