Thanks for the quick resposes, and the welcome sign! I talked with a man named John Ulrich, who suggested I do the same procedure to adjust the brakes, by disconnecting the front and so on....makes sense to me. That way you are only trying to sort out one system at a time. Thanks for the confirmation.

My brakes are backwards! Scary, but according to the manual (the owner found them yesterday), the brake shoes, arms, and linkage are installed correctly; with the primary shoe @ the forward bottom third. The secondary @ the rearward bottom third, and the aux shoe facing up. What is not clear in the picture is which way the arrow points on the cam. Froward or backward? I'm going to make it so the primary shoe works fist, and go for a road test.

Thanks again
