Hi, just new in the world of skidsteers.
I bought a 1999 case 1840 with backhoe and hammer to work my (rocky) grounds.
Worked with it for some weeks now and started cleaning the inside, taking all the goo-ish junk out

I apparently did something wrong cleaning and now my brakes are locked. J guess i broke an electric wire. Now the 1840 doesn't want to move any more. The picture below shows my parkbrake switch.

Anyone familiar with this type?

if you washed it ,have you looked at the fuses ,might have poped one if there was water sitting in something. i would assume that the switch is normally open and when powered up pulls a coil to release brakes so make sure you have power to the switch when key is on.

I didn't wash it. Today ill try and slide the canopy off, I hope to get a better view on it then. and find the whole braking sytem. This machine hast has the parkbrakesystem as the one i found online.
