Snapper 1650 Series User Manual

BRAKE SERVICE - 1600 SERIES
Access to brake components on 1600 series tractors
is gained by tilting the operator's seat forward and
removing the tool tray. However, when brake band or
drum replacement is required, it may be easier to
jack the back of the tractor up and to remove the left
rear wheel. If the brake does not function properly
after readjusting as described on page 3.5, the band
is probably worn excessively. Replace as follows:
1. Release parking brake to relieve tension on the
brake band.
2. Remove the retaining ring securing the actuator
rod to the brake lever and detach the rod.
3. Pull the cotter pin from the clevis pin holding the
forward loop of the brake band to the brake lever and
pull the pin.

4. Remove the retainers and pull the pin holding the
lever link and rear loop of the band to the lever. The
band can now be removed and replaced. Before
replacing, carefully inspect the surface of the brake
drum. If excessively worn replace as described in
step 5.
5. The brake drum is keyed to the transaxle and is
held in position by a retaining ring. Remove the ring
and use a puller to separate the drum from the tran¬
saxle. Reverse the foregoing to install replacement
drum and/or brake band. Readjust brake after replac¬
ing.
