ADJUSTMENT - HYDRO MODELS
NOTE: All hydro brake adjustment is accomplished
through brake spring adjustment.
1. Fully depress brake pedal and lock parking brake.
2. See Figure 27. With the tractor parked on a level sur-
face adjust the brake rod nut (A) until spring (B) is
compressed to a length of 1-11/16" to 1-3/4" (4.30 cm
to 4.45 cm).
3. Check the adjustment by backing the tractor up a hill,
engaging the parking brake, and shutting off the
engine. While seated in the operator's position park
the tractor for at least 30 seconds and watch for
movement.
If the parking brake does not hold, tighten the spring.
If the parking brake cannot be engaged, loosen the
