Brake Adjustment 310-08

Recommended Posts

Hello Crew

I had no braking with my tractor and noticed the brake band was million miles away from my and I'm gonna call it brake drum. I tightened up the nut and got the band right up on top of drum. Stops great now but now to use it as a parking brake its not working. I cant get the parking brake lock lever to stay in place to keep brakes lock. Did I over adjust the brakes to tight or close to the drum?

WHX??

Might be a little tight. Back off on it a little at a time until the park just catches. Might have some worn brake band material too.

Yes you tightened it too much.  Back it off a turn or two at a time until the parking lever can lock in place.
