I purchased a 1963 Ford 4000 and was surprised to find the tractor does not appear to have a parking brake. It looks like all that's left are a couple of teeth mounted on each side (near where the PTO dipstick is). I've looked around online and haven't found much on it for the 1963 Ford 4000. I'm hoping I can buy a kit. I have the 5 gear version and not the SOS so from what I've gathered online there is no Park like the SOS. Any guidance would be much appreciated.

There are 'brake locks' which engage the teeth, and are activated by pulling upward on a rod. The brake locks on my '62 851 operate the same way (the rods for mine are sort of under the seat) . I am not convinced that they hold very well. I tend to stop and shut off the tractor and leave it in gear when I have to get off and do something. (I also need to adjust my brakes; that may help the situation)
Here's a link to your manual, if you don't already have it:

Thank you. I ordered a manual, it's on the way.
