3b. If the linkage is working properly, but the brakes
seem to be dragging, check the brake yoke.
The linkage is not adjustable. See Figure 6.3.
• When the brakes are released, it should be possi-
ble to wiggle the brake rotor within the yoke.
• If the rotor is tight in the caliper, check the yoke
adjustment.
• If the rotor is tight in the yoke, check the operation
of the yoke to confirm that it is not stuck.
• When the brake pedal is released, the brake arm
on the yoke should fall completely back against the
axle housing.
4. Check the drive belts. See Figure 6.4.
• In normal use, drive belts typically last for years
without problems.
• If the belt fails prematurely, identify and correct the
cause of the belt failure before returning the tractor
to service.
4a. Look-up the part number for the belts, and con-
firm that the correct OEM belts are on the trac-
tor.
4b. Check the belt routing.
4c. Check the brake/clutch linkage and belt ten-
sioning pulleys.
4d. Check for foreign objects jammed against the
belt.
4e. Check for missing or out-of-place belt guides.
See the belt replacement section of this chap-
ter.
4f. Check the engine crankshaft and transaxle
input pulleys; Confirm that the sheaves are not
spread-out, causing a loose belt fit.
