HANDBRAKE ADJUSTMENT
Adjustment of the handbrake should be carried
out after the foot brakes have been adjusted.
Broke the front wheels, jack up the rear of the
tractor and support the rear wheels just clear of
the ground. Unlatch the brake pedals.
Remove the cover of the handbrake mechanism
as shown in Figure 79, to gain access to the ca-
ble adjusters. Apply the handbrake so that the
4th..notch of the sector is engaged. Tighten the
self locking nuts, on the operating cables until
both wheels start to lock. Release the handbrake
and ensure that both wheels are free to rotate.
Apply the hand brake to ensure that the system
operates freely. Refit the waterproof cover over
the handbrake mechanism.

The tractor should stop in a straight line if the ca-
bles have been correctly adjusted.
CLUTCH PEDAL ADJUSTMENT
To obtain maximum clutch life, it is essential that
the clutch pedal free travel be checked every 50
hours so as to maintain free travel at 19-30
mm(3/4-1-3/16 inches ), Figure 80.
1. Remove the cotter pin and clevis pin.
2. Turn the clevis to increase or decrease pedal
travel as required.
