Toro HDXD park brake buzzer

Common problem with equipment . Sometimes they come with park brake buzzers like some of my 2015 TX gators or none at all . Not sure if their is a kit available but I've had to do this a few times on different equipment . Should come standard .OEM  brakes are not cheap to replace in golf !!  
Oh BTW it's not just a staff issue I have driven off with park brakes on and I know better . Being a diesel and adjustments to lift park brake handle to spec they can be driven off with out noticing till its to late .  

Remove seats and cab and plate behind roll bar .



A little PITA the first time you do one but having to do this a few times for different reasons its pretty easy . 



Mocked up what I wanted the plunger switches to do . The foot switch has to connect power when plunger is out . 


The first HDXD had a pig tail from fuel pump solenoid . This one from the top dresser had a spare pig tail and All I had to do is add a 10 amp fuse .


Key powered too . ... perfect .

Perfect fit to mount this switch on the inside to catch lever 


Looks good and works well .



This swith is a Rotary #31-9658 from Vickers Marketing . Found on most lawn and garden tractors 


Foot pedal switch i mounted on the inside here. I'll get a pick later to add where the power source is . I'm using the pig tail connection in fuse panel from fuel pump which is already fused with a 10 amp . . 


Welded in a plate to catch button . 


this switch is the Rotary # 31-9659 from Vickers . Also found on most lawn and garden tractors 


Ran wiring as per my lay out 



Ran buzzer  ( Lawsons #28925 80 DBA )to just behind operators head . 

When park park brake is on plunger is in but no power goes to buzzer till throttle plunger extends completing the circuit . the throttle plunger has multiple connections to make contact where its plunging in or out .  


I little video of it in action . 

* Side note when welding in plate for throttle remove switch and also disconnect battery . The heat messed up my switch making for some fun trouble shooting .



Added these panel buttons to the units that have had bumper damage to keep them from poping out



Toro option for a cleaner air filter . Also works well . Didn't price one up I figured $$$.
Verses mine for $$ for 2 machines .
