Check Manual Brakes

A - Brake Pedal

Stop tractor, place transmission in PARK and turn off engine.

1. Pump brake pedal. Pedal (A) should have a solid feel. If the pedal does not feel solid, have your John Deere™ dealer bleed brakes.

2. Check to make sure pedal does not settle to end of stroke within 10 seconds after being applied. If leakage exceeds this rate, see your John Deere™ Dealer.

   IMPORTANT: Any noticeable pedal drift downward from point of resistance indicates brake leakage. See your John Deere™ dealer.

   NOTE: Solid pedal feel occurs when brake pedal feels like it has stopped moving, even when it is pushed harder. Solid pedal feel should occur after pedal has traveled 102—127 mm (4—5 in.). Brake valve will emit a squeak just before solid pedal point is reached.
