New Holland TS 115 pto brake adjustment

Hello!
I have recently bought a ts 115 and it seems that the pto brake is not functioning. When the pto gear selector is in 540 but the starter switch is off the tractor starts to slowly spin an empty baler when revved over 1400.
By the manual i should remove the cab to access the top cover for the transmission where I can check the brake and adjust it. Does anyone know a way where I don’t have to remove cab to adjust the pto brake?
I have EDC if that matters
Thanks!

I can't see that the TS115 will be any different to the 40 series. On them,the cab only needs raised a couple of inches and the top cover can be removed. Just watch the windscreen when lifting the rear of the cab........ The IT manual I have for the 40 series says the cab doesn't need lifting at all but it's wrong!
If you're going in there,replace the brake band as a matter of course and you'd be better checking out the pto pack plates as they may be warped as well.

The dealer told me it was a cab off job to sort the PTO brake on my 7840. When I got it back, I saw no evidence that the cab had been moved at all. :unsure:

Replaced the brake band and other stuff on an 8240 and only needed to lift the cab a bit.........Just the PUH and aux service levers to come off and the mounting bolts and up it went......

Did the pto on our oldest 7840 and it wasn't too bad.
As said cab needs lifted a little at the back, seem to think that putting the bolts in above the mounts was enough.
Borrowed my mechanic mates engine hoist with a custom bracket bolted to the top to lift it up, nice and easy. Never had the top off the hoist, did the pack and brake and all back together again.
I managed it so not too hard.
