The blue picture is a 601 assembly so you can see how it was added later

Well, I checked the floor and don't see any indication that the original MC was mounted inside. I’m sure I can mock something up to work; but I wanted to make it as original as possible. I found some MC that could work, but I would have to mount it on the outside.
Question: Does one have to remove the tracks to get to the brake pads on the rear sprockets?

If you want to keep original it had NO master cylinder and would be like the orange machone linkage only to cable

Thanks Boggie, I got it now. Still learning the ropes. lol. I guess I'll go with a MC now since it's already set up for it. I need to get to the wheel cylinders now. Do the tracks have to come off to get the the sprockets?

Yes, the tracks will need to come off to get the sprockets off. Good Luck

Track removal is pretty easy providing you have the correct tools. Cat Jacks are ideal, but you can use a couple of "Come Alongs" if you don't have them. Cat jacks look like very large C-clamps that can go from about 24" down to 0". They'll have a large nut on one side and you open and close them with a air or electric ratchet. It's much slow with come alongs. Be sure the track tension is completely loose or "in". Its generally best to remove the track pins when they are on the top and centered between the front and 2nd wheel. If you are removing both tracks, once they are loosened and laying out flat then you can roll the cat off the tracks. Be sure to have the cat anchored to something. More cats have been trashed by having them simply runaway and crash into something.
