A - Brake Pedal

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

1. Pump brake pedal. Pedal (A) should have a solid feel. Solid pedal feel occurs when brake pedal feels like it has stopped moving, even when it is pushed harder; usually after pedal has traveled 102—127 mm (4—5 in). Brake valve emits a squeak just before solid pedal point is reached. If the pedal does not feel solid, see your John Deere™ dealer.

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

2. Press down firmly on brake pedal. Pedal should not settle to end of stroke within 10 seconds after being applied. If leakage exceeds this rate, see your John Deere™ dealer.
