I have searched everywhere with no luck trying to find out how to adjust the brake band on a winch on a john deere 540a skidder. Any info whatsoever would be helpful. Especially if anyone knows how to do it.
 
I'm in stuart! I used to have a 540B I currently have a 550B with JD winch. You have to make a special wrench to adjust it, its not difficult but easier to do once you have seen one. Pm me and I'll send you my phone number and I can help you with that.

Thanks for the info

Thanks Ryan for the info..he got it fixed now. He just has bought it 3 days ago from Millards Machinery and they come and fixed several of the things that had kinks in it and that was one of them. But I appreciate the help anyways I will definately contact you if I need anything else.
