Brake adjustment
1. Test the operation of the brakes
1a. Disengage the transmission release rod by
pulling it out and hooking it.
1b. Set the parking brake by depressing the
brake/clutch pedal and pushing-down on the
parking brake/cruise control lever.
See Figure 5.13.
1c. Attempt to push the tractor. If it can be pushed
by hand without skidding a rear wheel, check
and adjust the brakes.
1d. Release the parking brake.
1e. Attempt to push the tractor again. If it cannot
be pushed with reasonable effort, check and
adjust the brakes and the hydro bypass (con-
trolled by the transmission release rod).
2. Visually inspect the linkage to confirm that it func-
tions properly. See Figure 5.14.
• Beneath the floor panel, on the right side of the
tractor there are two semi-circular latch plates.
• The outer latch plate rotates with the drive con-
trol pedals. The inner latch plate rotates with
the clutch/brake pedal.
2a. With the clutch/brake pedal fully released:
• The travel limit pin should be resting against the
front of the curved slot. See Figure 5.14.
• The rod that connects the clutch/brake latch
plate to the heavy brake actuator spring should
be slack. See Figure 5.15.
• The light brake pull-off spring should be holding
the brake arm back against the stop.
