Anyone ever post too much? I hope I don’t 😳
Another issue, my brake pedal gets loose a drops making it an issue!
I’ve tightened it up a few times but it’s loose again.
Is there maybe a special washer I can put on it.
Also the clutch pedal scraped the hole on the floorboard??

The joint between the brake pedal and the pivot arm should have serrations that help keep it in position. Also, the bolt needs to be TIGHT. Try some locktite as well as a new lock washer.

The clutch pedal scraping on the hole in the floorboard is a sign that the cab supports are collapsing. Something needs to be shored up or repaired.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.

Another common issue with the peddles scraping the floor is a worn out bushing and or peddle shaft .You can usually tell when you put your foot on one of the peddles and wobbles before moving the brake or clutch rods
