Brake pedal adju·stments.
Replace pin "A" and tighten lock nut "B"
after the adjustment has been completed.
It is very important to have the brakes
equalized. To have equalized brakes, both
pedals must have the same amount of free
movement.
To check the equalization of the brakes,
jack up both rear wheels so they will turn
freely, block the tractor securely and latch the
brake pedals together; then start the engine.
Shift the gears to either third or fourth speed
and engage the clutch; while the wheels are
turning, apply the brakes.
Application of the brakes should slow down
both wheels at the same time and also reduces
the speed of the engine.
If one wheel stops and the other wheel con-
tinues to revolve when the brakes are applied,
loosen the adjustment on the wheel that stops
just enough so both wheels stop simultaneously
when the brakes are applied.
CLUTCH
The engine is equipped with a spring-loaded.
6-1/Z-inch diameter', single plate, dry disc
clutch.
As a result of normal clutch facing wear,
the free travel between the clutch release
levers and the release bearing is reduced.
Lack of clearance causes overheating of the
clutch, loss of power, and early replacement
of clutch facing.
Check the clutch for free movement after
every 150 hours of operation until the proper
inspection interval is determined according
to usage. Check the free movement thereafter,
as required, to provide proper clearance be-
tween the clutch release bearing and the clutch
release levers.
CARE OF THE ENGINE CLUTCH
The engine clutch is de signed so that it re-
quires a minimum of attention. It is important
however, that a clearance of approximately
liS-inch be maintained between the engine
clutch release bearing and the engine clutch
release levers. Also, the clutch release shaft
and release bearing should be lubricated at
proper intervals as instructed in the "Lubri-
cation Guide".

ADJUSTING THE ENGINE CLUTCH
The correct free travel can be maintained
by loosening cap screw "A" (lIIust.51A) on the
outside of the clutch pedal, and rotating the
slotted lever at "B" counterclockwise to a
position which will give the I-inch free pedal
travel; then retighten the cap screw.
