jake Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Back in the day, many tandem drive trucks had no front brakes.In 1974 I drove a new F Model tandem with steer axel brakes. That was the first tandem that I ever had them on. Then the '74 had an air toggle switch to cut the air to the steer axel for slippery roads.

JumperAndSon Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Yea front brakes on tandem tractors were pretty rare for a while. You didn't really need them unless you were bobtailing.Ben Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/33303-my-b-model/page/2/#findComment-214980 Share on other sites More sharing options...
