I have a little apply noise, so researching before I dig in.

In parts, I see 2 axle packs of discs that operate by, let's say cams, from the foot linkage.
Does replacing these REQUIRE pulling transmission up and out? All the way?

I see a piston operated clutch pack. I'll guess this system 'locks' up like a clutch would upon the first bit of engine on movement off neutral foot pedal, and thus only applies power when desired. Am I right? Is there any way to use this as a parking brake (apply piston with engine off?) Is it normally applied (locked up to engine) with engine off and no flow? (And thus already a parking brake like a car?)

I saw (on a maintenance site) reference to a PTO brake. Is there such a thing, mid or rear? Which parts pic? Disc based or mechanical?

THX and and all!

Did some 'work'.
Thought maybe it was odd sized wheels (getting over flat) so went back to 2 normal - no change.
It's the left side, and forward only. Apply at speed makes noise (rattle-ish) and locks up - tire slides.
