i have a question, i have a 283 brazil ('73 or'77) and recently, the brake power has diminished on the left wheel and now, whenever i am pulling or blading the road, once it gets a load, it tends to go into neutral even though its in gear...you let off some gas and it will start moving again...the clutch can be pressed a quarter of an inch and it will engage...why is it doing this and how can i fix the problem without having to take it to a dealership? thank you for your time....:)

My guess is the two have nothing to do with each other now but may have at one time. I think your clutch is slipping and it needs adjusting. It is possible the left brake was not fully releasing and was worn out due to that while at same time wearing the clutch disk heavy and thus it slipping. Now that tie in is aomewhat a guess.

As to adjusting the clutch it is not complicated and if you have ever adjusted a clutch think you will be able to tell when right. Believe it has a clamp on the clutch road that rotates in the housing. Has been a few years since adjusted my brothers MF and it is model below yours I think. Should be same. ....
