Mr Bill, I'm sure you checked and made sure that the rod from the brake pedal is attached to the bell crank/crossover shaft on the tranny housing under the operator's seat. Next, make sure there are rods from each steering clutch housing attached to this bell crank on each side. It is very likely that a rod has come loose inside one steering clutch housing but the rod from the other housing is out of adjustment. You can check by taking the pin from the clevis at the crossover and see how much travel these rods have. I suspect you will find a lot of travel, especially if one or both are loose inside the steering clutch housing. Hopefully, you can loosen the lock nut and turn the clevis to shorten rod travel so the foot brake will at least engage the brake on one side. Look at the service manual instructions for adjusting the brake rods coming from the steering clutch housings and this will better illustrate the procedure than I can. If this does not solve your problem then the next step is to remove the final drive and determine whats loose in the brake mechanism. Good luck,
