FIG. 3.8- ADD SPACER WASHERS AS REQUIRED
BRAKE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
1. Inspect the brake rod and make sure the cotter
pin is secure in the end of the rod. Back the nut
on the brake rod (Figure 3.6-item 7) to the end of
the rod and shift the parking brake shift lever
(Figure 3.6-item 2) out of park. Next, place the
HI-LO shift lever in neutral.
2. With the right wheel on the ground or otherwise
secured to prevent rotation, turn the left rear
wheel hub while tightening the nut on the brake
adjusting stud until the wheel hub can no
longer be turned (Figure 3.7). This achieves zero
clearance between the brake pads and the disc.
Now, back off on the adjusting nut 1/2 turn and
secure the nut with a 3/32x3/4 cotter pin
through the hole in the adjusting stud then
bend the cotter pin to secure (Figure 3.8).
NOTE: It may be necessary to add washers (pro¬
vided in kit) behind the adjusting nut to insure
that the cotter pin is securely engaged in the
slot of the nut.
3. All tractors shipped after November, 1980 have
heat treated parking brake levers (item 2, Figure
3.6). If the tractor involved does not have a heat
treated lever or if there is any doubt whether it
is heat treated, replace the lever with the one
provided in brake kit. To replace, disconnect
the park lever spring, remove the cotter pin or
retaining ring and remove the lever. Install the
kit lever and secure with 1/8x3/4 cotter pin.
Replace the park lever spring.
4. Place the parking brake lever in the park posi¬
tion.
