Husqvarna (GTH2448T) only starts if brake pedal NOT pushed. Thoughts?

May have the brake switch wired backwards. It appears to have 4 pins. I did some troubleshooting on a Cub Cadet recently and the brake switch had two contacts for a NO switch and two for a NC contact. The switch seems to have a tab to prevent installing it other than the "correct" way. I would take a look at the brake switch and wiring. Maybe somebody accidentally swapped the wiring pins in the harness for that switch. It's just going to need some investigation to see where to go next.

Tractor husqvarna yta 18542. Sometimes it won,t go up a hill. It just stops. It,s only 6 months old. What are the 2 adjustment screws on the tranny. Do they have something to do with belt tension ?

There is no adjustments for the belt on the gearbox,there will a brake adjuster on the side, if the brake is badly adjusted it will increase the gearbox oil temperature resulting in loss of drive, slacken the 1/2 nut to reduce brake friction.

How do you adjust brakes on a Husqvarna RZ 5424 lawn mower

This unit uses a geared brake. There is an adjustment nut on the actuating arm that operates the brake.
Check the inside of the Hydro-Gear units locate the brake arm lever, (bottom forward location on the transmission). You will see the adjuster nut on the brake arm.

How do i adjust clutch cover?

Question makes no sense. To remove or attach the clutch cover, the chain brake must be released. Period.
Failing that, you're going to wrestle, and lose, with the brake band. For whatever other bits you want to muck with, download an IPL (illustrated parts list) and see how the bits interrelate.

Chain brake locked

Take off the clutch cover and make sure the area isn't gummed up preventing the brake from disengaging. Generally the brake consists of metal strap that goes around the clutch and is tightened when the brake bar is pushed forward. The tensioning is adjusted through a spring mechanism and it may need to be loosened as well. Hope this helps!

How to adjust brake

If this is a Husqvarna, you need to load the brake before it will go back on, this can be done a number of ways, you can remove the clutch and drum, the brake will then go back on where you can use the hand guard on the machine to load it, or you can use a suitable tool to fit into the brake mechanism and load it this way, or you can remove the hand guard from the saw and use this as a tool to load the brake.

Rear brakes don't work, I put new brake shoes on, blead the brake lines, adjusted the brake shoes. I can feel it helping a little bit but it just won't grab. I can't even get the E Brake to hold

You need to re evaluate your work for it is not assembled correctly. Some have a cable that is attached from the shoe to the self adjuster. To adjust without tearing it down again run the truck in reverse and stop it quickly. Do that 5 times and see if the emergency brakes start to work. If so the adjusters are connected correctly

I can't get the clutch cover back on my Husqvarna 235 e because the chain break is engaged. Spring is too tight to disengage it.

The chain brake is engaged when the brake handle is moved forward.....to ensure it is actually the chain brake...with the clutch cover off and in your hand, pull the chain brake back...if it will not move, attempt to move it forward to see if it was not engaged...if it moves forward, it is now engaged...pull back to disengage it...a lot of times the problem is not the brake, but rather the bar adjuster....if the brake is not the problem,...loosen the bar adjuster and reassemble the unit...once assembled, then adjust the bar as per the user manual.

let me know what you find.

Husqvarna chain brake

You'll have to release the brake with the cover off the saw. You just need to find a way to brace it well enough.
If you really can't do this, then it suggests your chainbrake is faulty, of ath the very least not adjusted right.

Hello eddher:

The Following is a General Instruction File I Made for this Problem. Readjust the Brake Rods to the Original Positions. Now to Adjust the Brake Pads. Tighten the Center Adjusting Nut Until SNUG. Loosen the Adjuster Nut 1/8 Turn and Try the Brakes. If Braking is Not to your Satisfaction, then Adjust the Center Adjusting Nut on the Disc Brake Assembly Slightly (1/8" at a time) Until the Proper Braking is Achieved.
The Brake Assembly is on the Left Side of you Hydro Transaxle.
You can View the Husqvarna Model List at this Site Addy, http://www.partstree.com/parts/ and Click on the Husqvarna Logo. Now Enter the Model Numbers GTH 2448 T in the Search Box on the Left and Click Go. Now Select the Model of the Equipment you Wish to View. The GTH 2448 T 917.279260 has a Hydro transaxle Breakdown.
Please, Do Not Hesitate, If you Hit a Snag or this Does Not Correct the Problem, I am Here if You Require More Assistance.
Hope this Helps. Let me Know What Happens, Please. May the All Mighty Bless You and Yours. Be Safe and Be Happy. Thanks.

Good Luck

Respectfully
