I bought a JD 650 that is in really good condition
but does not have a smidgen of brakes.
The local JD dealer parts man said they probably just need adjusting and it was real easy. yeah!
Looks like I need to remove a cover first.
Any help?
I have ordered the operators manual but I think I need a tech manual. JD wants about $90. Any ideas for one less expensive?

Bill,
I have a 1050 that I have owned for nine years and we have one at work that we have had for about seventeen years. It is pretty common for the brakes to go out when these tractors are stored outside. If the 650 uses the same system as the 1050 you do not need to remove the cover to adjust the brakes. You may want to remove the cover to clean the brake assembly. The covers do not have gaskets and water seems to make it�s way into them. One fellow I know had his actuators seize up due to the moisture. There is an adjustment provision on the rods connecting the peddles to the actuators. If you reach the point where there is no more adjustment on the rods you must adjust the cam that the shoes rest on. Toward the rear of the brake covers there should be what looks like a large bolt sticking out with a nut on it. This bolt should have a screw drive slot in the threaded end. As the brake shoes wear you take up the slack by loosening the nut and taking a large screwdriver and turning the bolt. The bolt is actually a rectangular shaped cam that the ends of the brake shoes rest on. By turning the cam you increase the gap between the ends of the brake shoes. When the shoes become very worn you rotate the cam to the point that the shoes are resting on the longer diagonal of the rectangle. When you are adjusting this remember to reset the adjustment on the actuating rods so that you will have some adjustment there before resetting the cams again. They are dry brakes (outside of the transmission housing) but you may find water when your remove the cover. If they are oily you will need to check the seal on the brake shaft. Hope this helps!
