B7800 Brake Adjustment

[Eldubya]

I've got a B7800 that "somebody" drove around a bit too much with the park brake engaged and wore them down a bit. I've adjusted them so they now grab nice and firm, however, I can't quite see how the brakes are adjusted individually. There seems to be one turnbuckle for both brakes although when the pedals are separated, there only seems to be one rod going to the rear of the tractor. Brakes are working well enough individually, but the right is stronger than the left.
How do I get them to work evenly with the same amount of pedal-pressure, or can I?
Thanks.

You need to look on the other side as there are 2 adjustments.

If it was run too long with the brake set, you really should get into it and replace the disks.

That's a great help N.I. Wolfman, Thank you! I obviously didn't look hard enough. - I think there's enough meat left on them cause the right one locks up REAL good now!

The driver of my B7800 also does the same thing: driving with the brake on. Since it could not possibly be my mistake, or yours, it must be the tractor's fault. Though everything else about it is terrific.

I was planning to tighten my brakes as soon as it warms up a bit. Thanks for posting the diagram.

There really should be an 'idiot light' on them to protect us from ourselves. Thanks again for the schematic. The other rod is WAAAAAAY over on the left of the machine. Didn't even think to look over there. All good now and stopping on a dime!
