This leads to...which leads to.... etc etc
Brake has been dragging on the 147 and today was nice enough to work on it. Since she was still set up for winter work, this meant removal of the chains, weights, then wheels. After I looked into the adjustment and discovering that wasn't the issue, I learned how to disassemble the brakes to lube them up, stretch the springs a bit, and now they are good and working again. When I reassembled everything, the brake dragging was gone, but now I've got to work on the neutral adjustment and it's got a more pronounced trunnion jerk. It's ok though, who needs brakes with a hydro?
