Reason I throw it out there is when I resurrect or want to test a machine, I've got a couple areas around here I can go up or down hill that you REALLY shouldn't on a routine basis. I have seen mowers slip going down hill if you go too slow or try to come to a complete stop. Just tossing out a fresh idea. Yeah I'm thinking something is probably out of adjustment as well. I don't know how the brakes on this one are set up but I seem to remember a 782 that if the rods were tightened up too far the brake rod would jam or something like that. Seems I had to cut a little off each rod, mind you I was dealing with old worn parts and it was a couple years back.
