Your tractor is equipped with an ad just able brake system
which is mounted on the right side of the transaxle.

depress clutch/brake pedal all the way down and en-
gage parking brake.

in “transmission disengaged” position. Pull freewheel

The rear wheels must lock and skid when you try to manually
push the tractor forward. If the rear wheels rotate, the brake
needs to be adjusted or the pads need to be replaced.
