Parking Brake Adjustment
WARNING: 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 11.
Figure 11
Loosen, but do NOT remove, the hex nut found on
the right side of the brake assembly. See Figure 11.
Re-tighten the hex nut, allowing a gap of .011"
between the brake disc and the brake puck. Use a
feeler gauge to achieve a precise measurement.
Seat Adjustment
To adjust the position of the seat, loosen the two knobs
on the bottom of the seat. See Figure 12. Slide the seat
forward or backward as desired. Retighten the two
knobs.
