Wanted 727 transmission

(1/1)

FORD F-150:
Wanted a 727 torqueflite transmission off a bombardier for rebuild. If you know of any please do not hesitate to contact me at jeromemisheralak@hotmail.com

FORD F-150:
I am trying to find one with a tail housing mounted parking brake (brake for bombardiers) if anyone out there knows of one that are willing to part with please let me know, thanks in advance.

Snowbusman:
The Parking brake drum was used by Chrysler in the early 60's ( 60-63)just before the "P" was developed where they locked the transmission internally for parking.
. I have that early arrangement and I wished I had gone to the next generation 727. The simple reason is that the drum brake will require adjustment while in service. You also have to fabricate the floor with a hump for that drum.

There are plus's and negatives. AT least the drum brake gives the operator a foot brake and an Emergency brake option.

With the 727 fitted to an early machine one would have to fabricate a braking system which I don't think would be hard.

I might have what you need. Contact me fpwalsh@wiktel.com
