Clutch/Brake linkage
Application of the clutch / brake pulls on the rod that
actuates the cam arm on the brake caliper, and pivots the
tension pulley bracket away from the belt, creating slack.
See Figure 6.20.
One spring, reaching rearward from the bracket, works
against the pedal. This spring tensions the belt when the
pedal is released.
NOTE: Failure of this extension spring will cause a loss of
drive and reduced belt life.
NOTE: A bracket that does not pivot because of damage,
binding, or corrosion will cause loss of drive and
reduced belt life.
A lighter extension spring, reaching forward from the
arm on the pedal shaft maintains slight pedal pressure
until the rear spring comes into play. See Figure 6.21.
To remove/replace the brake rod:
1. Remove the cutting deck.
2. Disconnect the front of the brake rod from the brake
pedal assembly by removing and discarding the cot
-
ter pin, removing the washer, and pulling the rod out
of the hole in the bell crank on the brake cross shaft
assembly.
See Figure 6.22.
