Last night I wanted to do some brush hogging with my Yanmar and noticed that my left brake pedal went in way farther than the right one. I could push the left pedal about twice as far as the right. My left brake didnt engage so I took a look under the tractor. There is a pin that links the brake pedal to a rod that goes to a lever on my tranny for the brakes. Then i checked the left side and the pin was gone! I ran to the garage and found that i didnt have any bolt small enough to fix the problem. Luckly I recently got a bunch of large cotter pins and had one exactly the right size. I put the cotter pin into the hole and climbed onto the tractor. Now both my brakes work fine and the tractor breaks a LOT better. :thumbsup: And I also got 2 1/2 hours of seat time brush hogging afterwards.
