Yes I got the 416 hydro I haven't really had time to tinker with it yet but I did look it over and got it cranked and running moved it back and forth. Its misssing the air filter cover, filter, and back plate. The brake is mickey moused with a piece of wire instead of the rod, but I'm sure I can make something. I will keep you posted as I go through it. |

while Im not exactly sure as i haven't got my 416H going yet... I can say that the 312H really doesn't need or require the brake at all.... I dont use it... pulling the hydro lever to neutral is brake.... also there is no parking brake on the 300 hydros... I wouldnt sweat it ... If it were me I would just wait it out until I found the rod reasonably priced
I think if you look at the brake bands on any of these you will find they are largely unused / unworn |

huh, where is the parking brake on the hydro... maybe im completely clueless...wouldnt surprise me
there is a parking brake on my manuals... a little screw thing on the side by your foot you screw in to hold the brake after you push the pedal down but I dont recall that on the hydro... is it there???
I looked and I do see it in the manual on p D-17... hmmm... Ill have to go look... for pete sakes Ive got 2 300 hydros out there...
I know the 400 does but its the cam thing like what is found on simplicities
but... while it seems i am probably way wrong on the facts here... I think my point is still OK as the hydro works pretty good at stopping the wheels I havent found a reason to use a parking brake ... YET...
now you got me wondering... Im gonna have to look sooner than later..
thanks for the heads up!!!
darn it now im probably the one looking for a reasonably priced parking brake rod... |

Yep the cinch screw is on both the hydro, and variable.. You are correct though, i never use mine either. This may be why yours are not there, if you don't use them every now and again they seize up, and when you put a pair of vice-grips on them to loosen the thing up it snaps off.. I put anti-seize on the threads to prevent this problem..
