How do you adjust brakes on a mtd bolens mower?

Most of the MTD/Bolens riding mowers have the brake adjustment on the transaxle, right side toward the front. You will need a 1/2" wrench. With the mower in neutral, tighten the nut a 1/4 turn at a time while you try to roll the mower back and forth. Once there is some resistance when you try to roll it, stop and back it off a 1/4 turn and you should be ready to go.
