2N brake issues

[michehembr]

I have a mutt tractor but the brakes are starting to not hold. There is no slot to adjust them. I am actually new o this tractor haven't been on one since I was a boy and they were
all a lot newer than this. Any help with pictures or videos would be great if you have a link to a video please post it. I tried to look in the forums but there is just so much and
I didn't find a thing. PLEASE HELP!!!!

Thanks,
Mike

look at parts diagram, I think brakes are adjusted by a nut and squared shaft on the outside of the back plate

Michehembr,You will see the adjuster (widget) on the inside of the brake backing plate with a square shaft sticking out.Jack up the rear wheel and adjust with a 12" crescent wrench adjust the brakes till you feel the brake drag when you turn the wheel by hand.Then just back it up a click or two so it spins freely.Just hope it is not froze up.

Thanks for the help, now that the rain has stopped and I can work on this thing do I need to turn it clockwise or counter clockwise? And would that direction be standing from the tire side looking toward the seat?

Thanks

Michehembr,Looking at the square adjuster ,turn it clockwise to tighten brakes and counter clockwise to back them off.
