Howdy All!
I recently acquired a 1978 JD 210 and noticed that the brakes work OK but should the brakes hold the tractor in place when they are set to Park and I try to drive off? The other day I started to drive off and realized I had the parking brake set. The tractor did not seem to be affected to drive with the parking brake set. I adjusted the brakes a bit tighter but not much. If I adjusted them to tight then I could not set the parking brake. I crawled under the tractor and noticed that the brake band was only riding on 1/2 of the brake drum. I would pump the brake pedal and it would more or less center itself on the brake drum. Any suggestions?
As always Thanks in Advance!
