Abstract
A parking brake assembly mountable on the chain sprocket drive of a skid steer vehicle. Independent hydrostatic transmissions for a skid steer vehicle have a driving motor for each set of wheels of the vehicle. Drive shafts for each motor extend into the transmission case and carry at their inner ends rotatable brake discs splined thereon and fastened in place so as to be integrally rotatable with the output shafts of the hydraulic motors. Brake members carried on a brake assembly mounted on the transmission case engage the brake discs to limit the output of the drive motors and stop the vehicle.
