Is the parking brake linkage adjustable on the 55 series? I had the tunnel top cover off and was checking it out. I'd like to adjust the position of the piece that blocks the go pedals inside the tunnel. To do that, there would have to be a way of adjusting the linkage, and it is hidden. I won't bother uncovering it if it isn't adjustable. Possibly the adjustment is simply to bend the linkage rod. Or maybe I need to loosen the tractor brakes somewhat, so that I can pull the parking brake lever up farther. Right now it doesn't pull up very far, and consequently the block thing isn't quite down where it should be when the brake is set.

I have never had need to adjust any of that, but here is what the manual shows. The last drawing may be of most use regarding the linkage for the park brake set.
