Glad to hear!

It worked! That is great.

Thanks dude 👍

My rod is in with pin but still won't lock the brake. Could you show me what the parking brake lever rod is catching on to hold the brake locked

Thank you that might be the problem with mine

I’ve got the opposite issue, mine disconnected from the red lever. I don’t know if I lost a clip to it or what

The brake latch has two holes that the parking brake goes into. Did you place it in the top hole or bottom?

My problem is that I lost the clip and need to find a pin that is that size or close to it, any recommendations?

I have the same issue with my Troy-Bilt TB30R mower. Don't know if that will fix it or not, but in the spring, I will check it out.

@programmingchicago I know that this is an old comment but I was looking for answers for my TB30R because the brake was not engaging and it was getting harder to start. I just went outside to look in and around the front plastic Steering column cover on the brake side using a flashlight and I saw a huge mound of grass clippings piled inside😱. With a long flathead screwdriver, I started raking the grass out through a hole opening by the brake. Once I got the majority of the grass clippings out, the brake engaged YAY! Extra info: I think the grass clippings got in because when I had my mower serviced at a shop, it was returned to me with one of the Running Board Plugs missing. I didn't pay any mind to it for a long time but over time my parking brake got harder to engage. Oddly enough, I eventually bought a new plug but didn't think to look inside the hole to see if any grass had gotten in there. The service guy also broke one of the bolt holders on the rear cover so I might end up buying a new cover if the other bolt holder fails. Also, he did not return my call this year so I was forced to learn to service my mower and that is why I am here, learning. I'm glad to know that I can do my own service job and not have to wait on someone else.
