Rt brake adjust? 1950 mc

Post by monzanick » Fri Jun 28, 2013 10:44 am

All right! Call me a dummy! Left track can be pulled gradually and smoothly. Right is either on or off drive when pulled back all the way. I looked thru the mc manual I can't make heads or tails of the pics. I figure it must be a band adjustment.... Anyone got any pics ? Maybe a link to a site that shows it being done? I'm having too much fun crawling around my yard an fixing this thing, I would rather not disable it for too long.

Must be an adjustment. If the levers are coming back more than a few inches, something is out of whack.

OH! I will hate myself in the morning for saying this, but

Go buy a can of "whack" and pour it in your MC.
