I have a 99 665 with about 1500hrs. I owned it since new. The problem is with the parking brake. Ihad it back 3 times in the first year,and the dealer was unhelpful to say the least."It was out of adjustment" Was all I heard.They said I must be running it with the brake on.I took it in the second year and the dealer charged me $1300 and put new pads and told me to stop driving with the brake on.I DO NOT DRIVE WITH THE BRAKE ON. It seems to work perfect and the next time I pull it,it is completely gone.I have readjusted myself a couple times by removing the bell cranks from the splined shafts and putting them back on.My question is,how can I prevent this from happening? and why is it happening?Anyone else with this problem?I have seen other machines like mine with a block under the wheel,and I have read ads for sale stating the brake don't work.so I'm not completely alone.Thanks Joe
