 Parking brake hanging up Help

KT; OK, I understand now, you meant to give the spray lube a try on the cable. Yes, that is worth a try but likely not a permanent fix. My comment comes from the experience of having owned several "70" series Case farm tractors that controled the throttle, power shift, PTO, and I think the gear transmission too all with cables between the levers in the cab and whatever they controlled on the other end of the cable. They had a tight fitting rubber gasket seal on each end that the cable its'self sid thru insude of the cable jacket. Those seals would get worn from use letting dirt and water in, soon as that happened it was kinda overwith, some WD-40 helped a bit but not for long it just attracted more dust making the situation terminal. Chaning one of those wasn't a walk in the park either, especially the cab end. Frank.

Park Brake Adjustment

Note: The park brake should be adjusted when the hand lever reaches the top of its travel (12 clicks) and will not hold the vehicle in place.

1. Park machine safely. See "Park Machine Safely" in the Safety section.

2. Raise or remove cargo box.

3. Block front wheels to prevent machine from rolling and safely raise rear wheels off surface. Remove wheels.

4. If cables were replaced, cycle the park brake handle from fully locked to fully unlocked several times to stretch and seat cables.

5. Pull the park brake lever all the way up and measure the length of the rubber bellows (A) on the end of each brake cable. If the measurement exceeds 63 mm (2.5 in.) proceed to step 15.

6. If the measurement is less than 63 mm (2.5 in.) check if brake pads are worn out. If friction material (B) on any brake pad is less than 1 mm (0.040 in) thick, replace brake pads. See "Brake Pad Replacement" on page 541 and then check park brake adjustment.

7. Place the park brake lever in the off position.
8. Loosen jam nut (C). Back off jam nut and adjusting nut (D) 30 mm (1.25 in.).
9. Pull forward on brake lever (E) to ensure the park brake is fully released.
10. Remove the actuator nut (F) and actuator lever (G) from the actuator screw.
11. On the left side caliper, turn the actuator screw (G) counter clockwise until it is hand tight.
12. Rotate the actuator lever as close to the leverstop (H) as possible and engage it back on the actuator screw splines.
13. Install actuator nut and tighten to specification.
14. Repeat steps 9-13 on right side of machine. On the right side caliper, turn the actuator screw clockwise until it is hand tight.
15. Adjust nut (D) until cables are tight; about 5 Nm (4 lb ft).
16. Check the park brake lever movement. It should move 2-4 clicks with a medium pull (about 50 lbs) force on the handle. Move the adjuster nut accordingly.
17. Hold adjuster nut and tighten jam nut (C) to
