brake adjustment

I know I should get the manual for it but I need to know how to do the brake adjustment on an M with band brakes.

Thanks

Rick on each pedal shaft, there is an adjustable yoke. Loosen up the tightening nut, unhook the yoke from the pedal shaft, then turn it in to make it shorter which should tighten up the band. It is trial and error. 2 beers required.

Don"t really konw, but you might try my "H" adjustment procedure. Might be the same or very similar;

To Adjust / Tighten Up "H" Brakes;
[To Move Brake Pedals Closer to Transmission Cover; ]
 Un-do bottom locknut on bottom of brake drum housing.
 Re-adjust bottom square-head bolt up firmly, then back down ~ ½ / ~ ¾ turn.
 Tighten the bottom locknut BUT NOT TOO TIGHT, you may rip it out.
 Remove cotter pins from clevis pins.
 Un-do the rear portion of the long brake springs.
 Remove the clevis pins to free up the adjustment clevis.
 Thread IN [DOWN] the clevis to tighten up the brakes. [1 full turn moves brake pedal ~ 1/8” closer to transmission cover.]
 Reassemble.
 Do each side evenly, so tractor brakes evenly left/fright.

LOL, that ain't going to work too well. Guess it's time for new brake.

Thanks
