- Knob on the parking brake lever of Toro-era Wheel Horse 300, 400 and 500 series tractors. Forum members describe Toro 118860 as discontinued since at least 2012 and say the nylon originals crack after a few removals. A forum seller made machined aluminium copies ($27 shipped, 2020), a machine shop quoted $200 for one (2022), and a reproduction maker now lists it at $25. One owner reports the copy does not fit the square-shaft lever on a 1988 520-H.

Sits on the parking brake control, so it is treated as brake-related and out of scope for physical sale until a human decides a hand knob is acceptable (it does not carry brake load). Reproductions already exist.
