Abstract
The foot pedal assembly of a motor vehicle brake control includes a foot pedal which is mounted on a laterally extending arm of lever for limited pivotal movement about a transverse axis. The foot pedal includes a latching part which cooperatively engages a complementary part on the tractor to hold the foot pedal assembly in a parking brake position. The main part of the foot pedal is cut from a piece of extruded metal, such as aluminum. A vertically disposed end plate is releasably secured to the main part and extends upwardly to serve as an abutment or shoulder to prevent the operator's foot from sliding off the pedal. The end plate extends into a recess in the arm to maintain the pedal on the arm.
