just replaced brake pads. brakes work fine but right one won't fully disengage , it drags. It will disengage when I turn adjustment nut but tightens right up again when I use brakes. Is there a spring in there or a lubrication which can be done to get it to operate properly?

Any brake issues before the pad replacement?

The right brake piston may be sticking, you may need to take apart and make remove any corrosion on ther piston, Clean it with brake fluid.

If that does not work I would bleed the line. ....

Yep corroded piston could be an issue you may have to install the old pads to be able to get it to protrude enough so you can get a look at it ....

thanks for response to brake problem, but these disc brakes on the AMT are mechanical, not hydraulic . I think they have springs and cams in them. ....

The original poster placed this question under John Deere Compact Tractors, it should be in the Utility Vehicle forum.

Moved to Utility Vehicle Forum. ....
