Auto Park on a John Deer chassis?

Here is a blurb from the Classic Winnebago Forum:

The parking brake operation is explained in Ford's
Medium-Heavy Duty Truck Shop Manual.
There are two significant differences on this chassis:
The transmission shift linkage is used to apply the
parking brake, and a single drum-type brake is mounted
at the rear of the transmission. These differences do
not affect valve operation or oil flow.
The transmission shift linkage (A) is used to apply the
parking brake. When the shift lever is moved to "PARK", linkage cable (C) rotates cam (D) to engage control valve (E). The parking brake
is released when the brake release knob (B) mounted
under the dash is pulled.
The chassis uses a single-drum parking brake mounted
on the drive line at the rear of the transmission. The
spring-set parking brake cylinder (F) which is mounted
on the left frame rail engages or disengages the drum
parking brake with the cable.

You can find more information by joining that forum, They even have the complete JD chassis manual. JD sold to Oshkosh who sold to Freightliner. Apparently FL and Stepvan parts do have some parts.

Thanx, that was interesting. I dont have a problem with this system at this time, was just worried, after reading about the GM system. I wanted to know which system I had.
I have all the original manuals that came with my MH, including the JD chassis manual, from which I took those photo's from.
I know I'm going to need calipers and the such one day, so I might look into buying them if they are available.
