It's the nut adjustment on the small disc. Post at www.mytractorforum.com

Hello,


I have an older Craftsmen LT 12/38 6 speed, 917.254240.



I cannot seem to adjust the brakes on this thing. I see the adjuster on
the
brake rod, but when I adjust it all I can do is change the clutch
adjustment
but not the brakes. I did have a little brake left earlier this year, but
I
have none now... and on my terrain that is not a good thing at all.

Is there another adjustment on the transaxle or somewhere?


Thanks in advance.
