Ferguson TO20

I have a manual that says to adjust the brake on the right side when you're behind the tractor looking towards the steering wheel. To adjust the star counter clockwise but it doesn't say anything about the left brake. Which direction do I turn the left star?

Consider yourself lucky if the adjusters aren't frozen by rust but ordinarily you can feel and hear click click click each time the star is rotated. Unless stars are badly worn you'll notice more resistance when turning in wrong direction if that's possible.

Thanks for the information

To tighten the brakes. While at the rear of the tractor facing forward.

Right side.. With the wrench pointed down.. Turn the wrench toward the front of the tractor.

Left side.. With wrench pointed down.. Turn the wrench toward the rear of the tractor.

You should raise the rear tires off of the ground if possible. Turn each tire by hand as you adjust the brakes. Adjust them until you can't turn the tire then back the adjuster off two or three clicks.

Where exactly is this adjustment located? Is it in the brake drum itself? I'm just wondering...can't picture it.

The adjustment is inside the drum attached to the shoes

Does the drum come apart with the tire on?

No. I can adjust the brake through a slit on the inside of the drum. But I can't remember if I need to rotate the adjustment star clock wise or counter clock wise

Unless it's been messed with. The adjuster should look like this.

Your picture reminds me of Girling brake adjuster as used on TE models. I could be wrong.

Mine is different. Mine has a slot where you fit a flat head screwdriver and turn the star adjuster

Number 10 on the picture by the spring on the left side

I am guessing R and left turn the same direction to tighten. Been a very long time since I adjusted mine.
