PARKING BRAKE ADJUSTMENT
Never attempt to adjust the brakes while the
engine is running. Always disengage PTO,
move shift lever into neutral position, 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:
• Looking at the transmission from the right side of
the tractor, locate the compression spring and
brake disc. See Figure 14.
• Carefully remove the cotter pin from the crown nut
on the right side of the brake assembly.
• Using a feeler gauge, check the gap between the
brake disc and the brake puck. Proper gap is
0.011".
• Tighten the crown nut until the proper gap is
achieved.
• Install a new cotter pin (part 714-0111) on the
crown nut.
