For any of us old farts who have worked on a fram and driven a tractor, the 
older ones, at least, not sure about the modern ones, they actually did/do have 
two brake pedals linked together in the center. When linked, they're for 
stopping; when unlinked, done with your right foot, they're for stopping one of 
the big rear wheels while allowing the other one to turn, thus making it almost 
possible to make a 90 deg. right or left turn. Handy when plowing or maneuviring 
in tight places. Corvair content, Nope!
