CLUTCH - BRAKE
International Cub Cadet 106 and 126 Tractors
ADJUSTING THE CLUTCH
It la important that a clearance of .OSO^inch
be maintained between the clutch release lever
and the clutch release bearing. In order to
maintain this clearance, the pedal should have
a free movement of approximately 3/16*inch»
See lltush 23. This measurement is taken at the
point of contact of the pedal arm with the front
edge of the pedal return stop.
The clutch pedal adjustments are set at the
factory and should not require frequent atten¬
tion unless the linkage has been disturbed or
when the pedal movement becomes less than
3/16-inch. When it is necessary to adjust the
clutch, turn the adjusting nut (No. 3 in lllust. 23A)
on the clutch release rod in or out as required
to get the proper measurements.
ADJUSTING THE BRAKES
The disc brakes should engage when the
pedal is pressed down to within a maximum of
1 -5/16-inche6 and a minimum of 3/4-inch
above the pedal stop.
It may be possible to push the pedal all the
way down to the pedal stop, but this is of no
concern as long as the brake is engaged when
the pedal arm is at least 3/4-lnch above the
pedal stop.
To adjust the brakes block the front wheels
securely and raise the tractor so the rear
wheels are off the ground and turn freely. Then
adjust the jam nuts on the ends of the brake
rods (No. 4 in lllust. 23A)
Note: The brakes must not engage before
the pedal is within the maximum distance of
1-5/16'inche6. See lllust. 23.
Note: It is very important to have the brakes
equalized. To check the equalization of the
brakes start the engine and shift the gears to
third speed. After the wheels are turning apply
the brakes. Both wheels should stop at the same
time. If one wheel stops and the other wheel
continues to revolve when the brakes are ap¬
plied. adjust the jam nuts on the brake rod of
the wheel that stops, enough so that both wheels
stop simultaneously.
