How Do I Adjust My Tractor’s Brake Pedal?

We want to help you adjust your tractor’s brake pedal.



If you do not feel that you understand these steps, or can perform them safely, consult your tractor dealer or local mechanic. Also always consult your tractor owner’s manual for model-specific information.

4. Engage the parking brake.

8. Disengage the parking brake.



9. Adjust the brake pedal’s free play.
