D-17 Brake Adjustment.

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Going to be Bush Hogging and I like the brakes working really good because I have a lot of steep banks to traverse.
What started out to be a very simple routine job  became a little more time consuming due to critters building a nest in the RH housing.A whole pile of stuff.....took a lot of fishing with a wire hook and finally blowing out with compressed air.
When I installed the brakes I put a plug in the big ol' hole in the bottom of the housing but I guess there was plenty enuf room at the hole where the rod comes in to let them in.
I'm glad I discovered this because quite a few years ago when I was using my WD-45 for the job, there was a nest that caught fire inside the housing on tha tractor.

ALSO......I put new brake shoes on this tractor when I first got it. 
I followed the manual explicitly including setting the brake rod ends 20-15/16" from the toggle pin.
The RH brake pedal was always a little lower than the LH which makes even braking with just one foot a little "hairy".

So......I decided to simply screw the rod in a little on the RH side and get the pedals even.  Worked like a charm!
