SECTION 5
Brake Adjustment
The brake band, located on the left side of the trans-
mission, brakes the transmission and, in turn, brakes the
rear wheels.
As the brake pedal is depressed, linkage re-
turns the transmission to neutral, dynamically braking the
tractor. The brake band is actuated after the transmission
reaches neutral, providing additional braking action. The
brake band also serves as the parking brake.

Adjustment of the foot brake is as follows:
1. Release both foot and park brake.
2. Tighten the band adjustment nut until the brake band
can no longer
be
slid from side to side on the brake drum.
3. Back off the nut until the brake band is again free to
slide from side to side. See Fig. 5-23 .
.
4. Front brake adjustment is only required if the linkage is
removed.
The jam nuts are adjusted so the spacer just
contacts the spring, and the spring remains free to turn.
See Fig. 5-22.
