I'm sorry to be a pain, but I've been tinkering around the garage, and this adjustment has me stumped. The manual is a little vague, and the picture is very hard to make out. Would you give me a brief description of what I'm adjusting in there? The cam bracket, or what I think the cam bracket is, bolts directly to the transmission. I can loosen it, but I don't see an adjustment. The bolt that the cam pivots on doesn't seem to be eccentric, or in any way adjustable. I know I'm missing something. I was able to back it out in the driveway and hose 20 years of dust off everything in there, so my visibility is much better now.
I swear I remember being a better mechanic than this!
I did get the brakes adjusted this evening. And, there's a fan on the drive shaft I assume is meant to keep the transmission cool. At some point, the arm on the brake shaft that is meant to contact the brake safety switch got bent and sheared all but 3 of the fan blades off. Need to order one of those. One all that's done, I need to replace the positive battery cable, and figure out what's going on with my PTO switch. Then complete fluid change and I think it's golden.
