Brake Inspection and Adjustment
During normal operation, the tractor
brake is subject to minimal wear. How-
ever, the brake should be periodically
tested, and adjusted if necessary.

Checking the Brake.
Place the tractor on a firm and level
surface. Stop the engine and remove
the ignition key.

Pull and lock the transmission release
rod in the “Transmission Released
position. Perform the following checks:
NOTE: The tractor may be difficult to
push because of the hydro transmis-
sion’s braking action.
• Engage the parking brake. If the

tractor can be pushed forward or
rearward, the braking force must be
increased.

• Release the Parking Brake Lever. If

the tractor cannot be pushed
forward or rearward, the braking
force must be decreased.

Adjusting the Brake.
Remove the rear drawbar from the
frame by removing the four hex tapp
screws. NOTE: The oil fill tube/dipstick
will be pulled from the transmission
housing
.  Plug or cover the hole in the
transmission to prevent dirt or debris
from entering
.

From beneath the right/rear side of the
tractor frame, secure the hex shaped
flange of the brake rod (located just
behind the brake link) to prevent the
rod from turning (Refer to Figure 18).

From just above the right axle carrier,
inside the right frame rail, slowly turn
the hex nylon lock nut at the end of
the brake rod as follows to adjust the
brake (Refer to Figure 18):
• Turn the nylon lock nut  clockwise to

increase the braking force.

• Turn the nylon lock nut counter-

clockwise to decrease the braking
force.

Figure 18  

Recheck the brake adjustment to
ensure proper operation, and readjust
as necessary. If brake  adjustment
does not correct the problem, see your
authorized Cub Cadet  dealer.

While guiding the transmission release
rod through keyhole and the oil fill
tube/dipstick into the transmission,
reinstall the rear drawbar on the
frame. Secure with the four hex tapp
screws.

Turning Radius Adjustment
This tractor is equipped with hydraulic
power  steering which is set at the
factory. The turning radius should be
equal for both left and right hand
turns. If adjustment is necessary
please contact your authorized Cub
Cadet dealer.
