Adjustment of the transmission brake will vary a little depending on how good your clutch is releasing. Normal adjustment is to take the pin out, block clutch pedal all the way down tight, then adjust the length of the rod so you can just insert the pin you removed. Now you take block off clutch pedal and adjust the length from one to one and a half turns longer and install pin.
The reason I say your adjustment may vary is that a clutch that released really good, you can get by with only half turn of tension and a clutch that is a little stubborn may require a couple turns of tension.
Realize that when you have it adjusted, any time you hold the pedal all the way down, you are trying to prevent the transmission gears from turning. Soooo, if you have transmission in gear and stop to take it out of gear, holding that pedal all the way down, that brake is trying to keep those transmission gears stopped and this keeps tension on the gear you are trying to shift out of. That is why you never want to get carried away and put too much tension on that brake as it causes hard shifting out of gear.
Another trick that works great for getting out of gear is to apply the brakes at the same time the tractor stops moving. This keeps tractor from trying to roll back against the tension on the gears. Even a tractor pulling a tillage implement in the ground will try to roll back against the wheel tracks for a few inches, thus if you are having trouble getting out of gear as easily as you want, hold the brake.
The linkage on the top end of clutch brake is a pretty sloppy fit and if it moves back and forth , in and out of that arm it will cause some change in the adjustment. I usually washer that linkage so it cannot move back and forth.
