any pointers on how to get the parking brakes to work on a 50 1/2 ton. only one wheel is currently hooked up to the emergency brake but even when i push the emergency brake pedal with all my might, it does nothing to hold the truck even on a slight incline. i shortened the cable going to the brakes so it would do a better job but still nothing. i plan to install a cable for the second rear wheel soon if i can find the internal drum parts. i couldn't find much in the forum on this issue. have others encountered this problem and found a way to solve it. thank you.

Hy che, are your brakes adjusted up properly? Have you pulled the drum(s) to check that the cable and levers are in position and connected as they should be?
