Ok, now driving these

[Glenn D]

I went and saw a 2N yesterday with a mower attachment, I posted about it earlier. Sorry for all these silly questions.

This tractor has a seized brake on the right side, which leaves the left side brake.. ok fine but this leads to another question. how do you brake and clutch at the same time with one brake on one side and the other on the other side? especially with the right side being seized? I can't dance very well so there must be a trick to it? So If I need to use the brakes to make or help with a turn ? Or does that just not happen? I swer other tractors have the brakes on one side and clutch on the other?

Glen.......yep, left-foot/right-foot dance for braking on yer 2N. You'll gitt used to it. .......BIG foot Dell

if nothing else you can brake/clutch on left with adjustment ... leve right foot on peg.

if adjusted properly..when you clutch it a tab on clutch pedal depresses left brake ..if you noticed bend in left brake..its for appling brake when you dont want to clutch it hth phil

I was examining the difference between the parking pawls on the left and right brakes and didn't get any insight as to why they were like that. is this what you mean ? I imagine these will be more clear when I get to drive these a little more... hopefully that insight comes before I get to the ditch

Get the damn brake fixed. The manufacturer was wise enough to realize that in order to stop straight you needed to have both sides working. It is an invitation to disaster to not fix the brake now.

everything gets fixed on all my stuff. once it's mine that is. I just wondered how it was trying to use the clutch and brake at the same time

When properly adjusted you can step on the clutch and disengage it.
If you press it down further, it will catch on the brake pedal and
apply that left brake along with it.
If you just want to use the brake, reach down with your left hand
and grab that loop sticking up on the brake pedal.
Pull up or push down, your choice. Works both ways.
Another option is to add a hand lever similar to the one pictured.
I'd still fix the other side though.

great picture. I thought it had something to do with the parking pawl.
