There is a nylock nut on the end of the shaft coming down to the brake band.  Try tightening it up s few turns see if that helps.

That IS the braking system.

But only because we haven't figured out how to fit it with hydroboost yet.

Then what is the pincer system on the drive belt for?

Part of the clutching system in conjunction with the belt guard.

  the 8speed transmissions are not synchronized.  The input pulley needs to be stopped to prevent long term gear damage. The pincher system helps stop the belt when the clutch is disengaged.

Guessing this is the tractor you were peddling awhile back? 

If so you are way off base thinking the drive belt acts as the brake. 

Hopefully we can get you straightened out. 

 

The brake band can often become contaminated  with grease, oil & dirt. Removal of the brake band & heating it up in your  wife's oven at 500 degrees can... never mind just kidding. 

 

Heating up the friction material with a propane torch will burn off these contaminates and SOMETIMES restore life to them. This works  particular well with older style bands... the knitted style. 

If upon inspection it's flattened too much, loose or missing pieces best to replace it with one of Bob's. 

This one got replaced.
