D7 - 17A brake linkage

andy r · Jul 28, 2013

My D7-17A brakes were not working very well. The left one was't working at all. I took the two inspection covers off and found that a pin had fallen out of the linkage. The pin or shaft must be about 7 to 8 inches long with a reduced diameter at each end. Looks like it must go through the brake linkage and hook into a casting that is fixed. The casting doesn't really have a hole - sort of half an open hole that the pin must hook into. Found the pin laying in the bottom of the case where the brakes are at. How should this go back together?? Why did the pin come out? How are the brakes adjusted? Thanks.

You should have 2 pines each side brake band one for the anchor and the second one is for the fork and the big nut on the brake band is the adjustement nut who is bolting on the yoke and maybe the trade are stripp and had no tension on the pine .

Thanks. Maybe it just got too loose as I hadn't adjusted it. It probably needed tightening as the free play at the pedal was pretty big.

You should have 3 to 4 " free play on brake pedal for good adjustement and you could adjusted the support screw under the stering cluch case
