Parking Brake Adjustment
1. Disengage the PTO, stop the engine, block the
front wheels, remove the ignition key, and engage
the parking brake.
2. Locate the brake spring (A, Figure 35).
S/N: 2014161188 & Below
3. With the parking brake engaged, measure the
compressed spring length. The spring should be
2-3/8” (6,0 cm) when compressed.
4. If the spring is not within this range, release the
parking brake and turn the adjustment nut (B) to
compress or release the spring.
5. Engage the parking brake and remeasure the
spring.
S/N: 2014161189 & Above
3. With the parking brake engaged, measure the
compressed spring length. The spring should be
2-3/4” (7 cm) when compressed.
4. If the spring length does not equal the
measurement, the spring length will need to be
adjusted.
5. Disengage the parking brake.
6. Loosen the set collar (C) and slide it away from the
back of the parking brake bracket (D).

Neutral Adjustment
If the tractor “creeps” while the ground speed control
levers are locked in NEUTRAL, then it may be
necessary to adjust the linkage rod.
NOTE: Perform this adjustment on a hard, level
surface such as a concrete floor.
1. Disengage the PTO, engage the parking brake and
turn off the engine.
2. There are two nuts (B, Figure 34) on the linkage
rod. Loosen the nuts from the ball joints and turn
the linkage rod (A) to adjust. If the machine creeps
forward, turn the rod CLOCKWISE (while standing
at the rear of the machine, facing forward), if
the machine creeps backward, turn the rod
COUNTERCLOCKWISE.
3. Lock the nuts (B) against the ball joints when
neutral is achieved.
NOTE: This adjustment should not be performed
while the machine is running. It may take several
attempts to achieved neutral, depending upon how
much the machine creeps.
CAUTION
Do not adjust the spring to be shorter than
2-5/16” (5,9 cm) when compressed. This may
damage the brake mechanism.
