To adjust the brakes on a John Deere 850 tractor, first, ensure the tractor is on a level surface and the engine is off. Locate the brake adjustment screws on each brake pedal; these are typically found near the brake linkage. Turn the adjustment screw clockwise to tighten the brakes or counterclockwise to loosen them, ensuring both sides are adjusted evenly for proper function. Finally, test the brakes by pressing the pedals to ensure they engage and release correctly.
