From just above the right axle carrier,
inside the right frame rail, slowly turn
the hex nylon lock nut at the end of
the brake rod as follows to adjust the
brake (Refer to Figure 18):
• Turn the nylon lock nut clockwise to
increase the braking force.
• Turn the nylon lock nut counter-
clockwise to decrease the braking
force.
Recheck the brake adjustment to
ensure proper operation, and readjust
as necessary. If brake adjustment
does not correct the problem, see your
authorized Cub Cadet dealer.

rod through keyhole and the oil fill
tube/dipstick into the transmission,

frame. Secure with the four hex tapp
screws.
