• The rod that connects the clutch/brake latch
plate to the heavy brake actuator spring should
be just slack. See Figure 6.10.
2b. Check the gap between the brake rotor and
the brake pads.
• There is a fixed pad in the transaxle housing.
• There is a moving pad in the brake caliper.
• Wiggle the brake rotor slightly, and attempt to
insert a 0.010” (0.38mm) feeler gauge between
the rotor and either pad.
2c. Adjust the gap, if necessary, so that the feeler
gauge slips between the pad and the rotor
with light pressure. See Figure 6.11.
• Turn the nut to adjust the gap. The gap should
be in the range of 0.010”-0.015” (0.25mm-
0.38mm)
• Apply and release the brake pedal, then re-
check the gap.
2d. If the brake seems to be sticking, or the rotor
is discolored from dragging, remove the brake
yoke for repair or replacement.
2e. Set the brake. The front drive belt should be
slack.
2f. Re-test the operation of the brakes before
returning the tractor to service.
