The brakes should not drag and should not have an excessive free movement of the pedals before they take hold. Pedals should have a free movement of 1-1/2"; measurement to be taken between the points of contact of the brake pedal arms with the top of the rear frame cover, or just enough movement so that when just a slight pressure is applied on the brake pedals, the brake lock can be dropped into the first notch in the rack of the left-hand brake pedal arm. To adjust the brakes, screw in the set screw in the bottom of the brake drum cover as far as it will go, then back off one quarter to one-half turn and lock it. Obtain the correct free pedal movement by changing the length of the brake rod by removing the pin from the clevis, loosening the jam nut and turning the clevis either to the right or to the left. To obtain equalization of both brakee, it is very important that both brake pedals have the same amount of free movement. A definite way to check the equalization of the brakes is to jack up both rear wheels so they will turn freely, block the tractor securely and latchthe brake pedals together; then start the engine. Shift the gears to 3rd or 4th speed and engage the clutch; while the wheels are turning, apply the brakes Application of the brakes should slow down both wheels at the same time and also tend to reduce the speed of the engine. If one wheel stops and the other one continues to revolve when the brakes are applied, loosen the adjustment on the wheel that stops just enough so that both wheels stop simultaneously when the brakes are applied.
