Parking Brake Adjustment
WARNING: Never attempt to ad-
just the brakes while the engine is
running. Always disengage PTO,
move shift lever into neutral posi-
tion, stop engine and remove key
to prevent unintended starting.
If the tractor does not come to a complete stop when the
brake pedal is completely depressed, or if the tractor’s
rear wheels can roll with the parking brake applied, the
brake is in need of adjustment. The brake disc can be
found on the right side of the transmission in the rear of
the tractor. Adjust if necessary as follows:
1. Looking at the transmission from the right side of the
tractor, locate the compression spring and brake disc.
See Figure 12.
2. Loosen, but do NOT remove, the hex nut found on the
right side of the brake assembly. See Figure 12.
3. Using a feeler gauge, set the gap between the brake
disc and the brake puck at .011”.
4. Re-tighten the hex nut loosened earlier.
