ADJUSTMENTS — HYDROSTATIC
1. To adjust parking brake, loosen the jam
nut (E, figure 22) at parking brake rod
end. Rotate the parking brake handle
(B) clockwise until it is tight and pulled
up against fender as shown. Operate the
brake handle to see if it is too tight or
too loose. It should be tight against
fender when set but not too tight to
operate. When proper adjustment is
made, tighten the jam nut.
2. To adjust the foot brake, engage the
parking brake. Adjust jam nuts (H) on
end of foot brake rod to provide 1/2
inch (12.7 mm) clearance to rod guide
(G). Depress the pedal until the nuts (H)
just touch the rod guide (G). The drive
belt should be slack and free of idler
pulley. If not, check clutch adjustment
(step 3). Test operate the tractor. If
brake doesn't stop the tractor, reduce
gap between nuts (H) and rod guide (G)
by 1/8 inch (3 mm).
3. To adjust tractor clutch, adjust jam
nuts (J) on clutch rod so there is 3/8
inch (9.5 mm) clearance between jam
nut and rod guide (K) with clutch-brake
pedal in up position.
