Parking brake adjustment
To adjust the parking brake rod:
NOTE: The parking brake rod is properly adjusted when
the tab on the latch just bottoms-out in the notch
on the brake pedal assembly when the pedal is
depressed and the park brake is moved to “ON”.
See Figure 6.27.
1. Removing the cotter pin that secures the ferrule on
the adjustable rod to the latch.
2. Adjust the length of the rod by threading the ferule up
or down as needed.
3. Secure the ferrule with a new cotter pin upon comple-
tion of the adjustment.
NOTE: The plunger on the parking brake switch should be
pressed-in far enough to securely close the con
-
tacts in the switch.
NOTE: If the plunger is not pressed far enough: check that the switch is securely fastened to the dash.
NOTE: The tab on the latch that contacts the plunger may be adjusted slightly by bending.
NOTE: If the latch is not working correctly and adjustment fails to solve the problem, examine the latch for
binding or interference:
• Some of the clearances between the latch and the frame are fairly close.
• Component wear, with years of use, may allow the latch to bind.
• Interference/binding will likely be evidenced by wear marks in the metal and paint at the point of contact.
• Replace any visibly worn components, and adjust the linkage.
4. Confirm the correct operation of the tractor’s safety features before returning it to service
