Parking Brake Adjustment - MTD 607 Operator's Manual

Parking Brake Adjustment

WARNING:
Never attempt to adjust the
brakes while the engine is running. Always
disengage PTO, move shift lever into neutral
position, stop engine and remove key to
prevent unintended starting.
If the tractor does not come to a complete stop when the
brake pedal is completely depressed, or if the tractor's
rear wheels can roll with the parking brake applied, the
brake is in need of adjustment. The brake disc can be
found on the right side of the transmission in the rear of
the tractor. Adjust if necessary as follows:
1. Looking at the transmission from the right side of the
tractor, locate the compression spring and brake disc.
See Figure 11.
2. Loosen, but do not remove, the hex nut found on the
right side of the brake assembly. See Figure 11.
3. Using a feeler gauge, set the gap between the brake
disc and the brake puck at .011".
4. Re-tighten the hex nut loosened earlier.
