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 (See Figure 15).

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 15):

Turn the nylon lock nut clockwise to increase the braking force.

Turn the nylon lock nut rod counterclockwise to decrease the braking force.

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, position the rear drawbar on the frame. Secure with the four hex tapp screws.
