Geochurchi 3 #1 Posted June 17, 2014 Hi All, I have a 13-38XL Mdl 71185,I have adjusted the brakes before as per the owners manual with no problems,today I had to adjust them and the adjustment nut was quite tight,got maybe a 1/2 turn but still no much braking ,when I went to mow after about 10 minutes smoke was coming out from somewhere underneath,not the belt, I backed the nut off a bit and the smoke stopped,but no brakes. Any suggestions? Thanks Geo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oldredrider 2,547 #3 Posted June 18, 2014 Geo, care to shate the solution? I had to add shims behind the pads to make it work...too cheap to buy new pads for a flip. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Geochurchi 3 #4 Posted June 18, 2014 That's exactly what I did for now,when these fail I will replace with new pads,I wasn't sure how this braking arrangement but managed to figure it out from parts breakdown drawings GC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
