HAND BRAKE CABLE FOR FIAT AND FORD 5111687

This parking brake cable is designed for FIAT tractors as well as Ford Series 30 tractors. It is used in the parking brake system and stands out for one simple but crucial feature: its length of 655 mm. Part number 5111687 provides additional guidance for identifying the correct part during a replacement.

Role of the Cable in the Parking Brake System

On a tractor, the parking brake cable connects the user-operated control to the parking brake mechanism. It must transmit this movement smoothly to ensure the machine remains stationary when parked.

Over time, this type of cable can become harder to operate, seize up, or exhibit abnormal travel. When the control becomes less responsive or the parking brake holds less firmly, replacing the cable is one of the items to check.

The 655 mm length: an essential selection criterion

For this part number, the most important measurement is the 655 mm length. When installing a control cable, this value is crucial for ensuring a proper fit in the tractor’s designated mounting location. An incorrect length can complicate cable routing or prevent the control from functioning correctly.

Part number 5111687 is also a good identification reference. It helps narrow down your search to the correct part number, in addition to the length and machine application. If you are replacing a removed part, comparing these details remains the most reliable method.

FIAT and Ford Series 30 Applications

This cable is designed for several FIAT tractors and Ford Series 30 models. The detailed list of applications is included in the product sheet, allowing you to verify the specific model without confusing this part with a similar cable installed on a different variant.

Within this family of parts, two part numbers may appear similar but differ in length or in their compatibility with the parking brake control. This is why identification by model and part number remains important, even when the general appearance seems similar.

Useful Information Before Replacing the Part

Before finalizing your selection, first verify that your tractor is listed among the specified applications. Then check that the length is 655 mm and compare the entire old part with the replacement part you’re looking for, taking into account its location and routing on the machine.

If your current cable matches part number 5111687 or if your tractor is one of the listed models, you already have a solid basis for confirming your selection. If you’re unsure which of several parking brake cables to choose, directly comparing it to the removed part remains the best way to verify compatibility.
