BRAKE
LUBRICATION
Apply several drops of oil to each pivot point on the
brake linkage. Make sure no oil gets on the brake
lining or the brake drum.
ADJUSTMENT
The brake is correctly adjusted when:
a. a push of the pedal brings the tractor to a quick
stop
b. (4000 series only) the travel control lever returns
automatically to the “NEUTRAL” position from both
“FORWARD” and “REVERSE”.
Adjust the brake if needed. Use the procedure below:
1. Put the tractor on a hard, level surface, a concrete
floor for example.
2. Put the dual range lever in the “NEUTRAL”
position.
3. Release the brake.
4. Remove the cotter pin, clevis pin and clevis from
the guide.
5. Loosen the lock nut.
6. Push the guide rearward. Make contact between
the dowel pins and arms.
7. Tighten the adjusting bolt one half turn at a time.
Push the tractor with medium force after each
adjustment.
8. When the tractor can not be pushed with medium
force, loosen the adjusting bolt one turn. Make
sure the brake drum moves freely.
NOTE: Do not permit the adjusting bolt to become
too tight. This will cause distortion of the
brake band.
9. Tighten the lock nut.
10. Hold the guide rearward.
11. Turn the clevis. Align the hole in the clevis with the
rear of the slot in the guide. Install the clevis, clevis
pin and a new cotter pin.
