Ensure the parking brake is engaged and the lawnmower is in a safe position.
Locate the brake adjustment nuts on the mower. These are usually located near the brake levers or pedals. Typically, MTD Bolens mowers have the brake adjustment located near the rear wheels.
Using a wrench or socket, turn the brake adjustment nut clockwise to tighten it. This will make the brake engage more aggressively.
Test the brakes by pushing the brake lever or depressing the brake pedal. If the brakes are too tight, you may need to back off on the adjustment nuts a bit.
Repeat steps three and four until you find a setting where the brakes engage smoothly but firmly when you apply them.
Remember, if the brakes are too tight or too loose, it can affect mowing performance and safety. If you encounter any challenges or are uncertain about the process, consult your lawn mower's owner's manual or seek assistance from a qualified technician.
