Again, thanks to all fro the feedback. The tractor is new to me. I have owned it for 4 months. I did read up on the brake adjustment procedure, but it seems unlikely to me that this will give me the stopping power that I am expecting. I have been using the front and rear implements to hold the machine, and suspect that I will need to continue this. On a different note, Is it common to hear a bit of noise from the gear box/pump? Nothing loud, but I do hear it when I create a load of any kind. I don't think it's excessive would feel better knowing that for sure. The Hydro fluid is full and clean. had it's 100 mile service at 775 hrs and it has just over 800 now.
