SECTION 3 ■ BRAKES & HYDROSTATIC DRIVE CONTROLS
On the 1600 series tractors, braking is provided by left pedal activated brake band which clamps around a drum
on the transaxle to brake the tractor. The adjustment and service procedure for the 1600 series is covered oh
pages 3.5 and 3.6. On tractors with hydrostactic drive, braking action is provided by the forward/reverse pedal ac¬
tivated drive system when the engine is running and by the left pedal operated disc brake mechanism when the
engine is off. This also serves as a parking brake when engaged by the parking brake-speed selector lever. Brake
service on the hydrostatic drive equiped 1650 and 1855 series tractor is covered In first part of this section.
