Instructions
1
Park the 8N tractor on a flat surface and chock the front wheels to prevent the tractor from rolling.

2
Slide behind the left rear wheel and locate the adjustable bolt on the back of the wheel backing plate. The adjustable bolt has a square head that requires an adjustable wrench to turn. Also locate one of the access holes on the back of the backing plate that will allow you to see the brake.

3
Shine the flashlight through the access hole and locate the position of the brake shoes. Turn the adjustable bolt on the backing plate clockwise with the adjustable wrench until the bolt stops turning.

4
Shine the flashlight back through the access hole and make sure that the brake shoes have moved completely against the surface of the brake drum.

5
Back off the adjustable bolt a couple of turns counterclockwise until the brake shoes are about 1/8-inch away from the brake drum surface. Use the flashlight to determine the distance of the brake shoes from the brake drum surface.
