The brakes consist of external bands that contract
on drums. The brakes are controlled by foot pedals
which can be operated individually or simultaneously
when locked together.
Always lock the brake pedals together with latch
"A" (Illust. 48A) when traveling in high gear.
Adjustment
To adjust the brat.:es, jack up the rear end of
the tractor; remove pm "C" ana loosen lock nut
"D." Turn adjusting Ioke "E" until each wheel
drags slightly. See Illusts. 48A and 48B. Replace pin

It is very important that both brake pedals have
the same a.IIJOUnt of free movement to obtain brake
equalization. ' A definite way to check equalization
of brakes is
to
jack up both rear wheels so they will
turn freely. Block the tractor securely and latch the
brake pedals together; then start the engine. Operate
it either in second or third speed. App1ication of
the brakes should slow down both wheels at the
same time and also tend to reduce the sp-eed of the
engine. If, when brakes are applied, one wheel
stops and the other one continues to revolve, loosen
the adjustment on the wheel that stops until both
wheels stop simultaneously when the brakes are
applied.
When tractor is pulling power equipment, be sure
that all power line shielding is in ·place and in
good order.
