First try adjusting the break on that side, you will likely find that the adjuster will be froze up, not uncommon, the use of pent. oil or maybe even heat may be required. The first time I broke mine loose on my d-20 was a B#$h. If this doesn't fix it, then it is linkage adjustment time, the clutch to break linkage is under the seat ( sorry ) but once there is not hard to figure out, pull the handle back and fourth a few times and you will see how it works, simple design. You can have the clutch and break assembly out, first time, in about 1.5hrs ( counting time for cussing and finding tools, and cussing because you can't find the tools ) second time about 45min. fiber disks run around 4-500 bucks, and cant remember the cost of metal disks, think all parts were around 800. Takes about a half to 3/4 day for entire job, actually really easy to do by yourself. You can e-mail me at %23%23%dandrews@telapex.com%23%23 just drop all the %23's off and I will tell you how to do it. I have a d-20p-5 and have really enjoyed mine. As for your question above, I have a dump truck and all that, if you are just starting into this, better wait, what happens is you get a bunch of calls for dozer and dump truck work, then all of a sudden, you starve.....
