Most of my yard is hilly and while I was out working picking up branches and cleaning up the yard my 782 ran out of gas going up the hill. To my suprise the brakes did not stop the tractor from rolling backwards. How do I adjust the internal brakes on my 782. Thanks for any help with this. Larry

I assume I can get to this adjusting screws if I take the tunnel cover off or do I need to get to it from under the tractor. As you can tell I really don't know where this screw is located. Larry :Confused

I also adjusted the 1711 that was also in the same condition. I tell you this site is really great! Larry :) :) Attached to this post: P3090054.jpg (120.78 KB)
