Scottwilson 42 #1 Posted April 26, 2018 Hi folks I need some help . The foot brake is good but can’t get the hand brake to hold it looks like something may be missing ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
R. L. Addison 299 #2 Posted April 26, 2018 Try tightening the band a little bit, Too tight & they won't set, & too loose & they won't engage . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I didn’t know if something was missing as I can see the teeth on the bottom bit but nothing for the lever to go on it . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rmaynard 14,805 #5 Posted April 26, 2018 The way I adjust mine is to loosen the brake band, set the parking brake in the first notch, then tighten the brake band until snug and tractor doesn't free wheel. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
