My Claas Dominator 76 only brakes a little on one side and nothing on the other. When you listen to the drum you can hear the drum move when you brake. I want to know if the brakes can be set somehow to be closer to the drum or is the only solution new shoes.

Are you sure that the brake master cylinders under the cab are okay? Will the brakes bleed alright? If not, everything else is a waste of time. The Dominators I have had have all needed master cylinders.
The 19mm nut at the bottom of the drum back plate is the adjuster.
It is usually easier to jack up and remove the wheels and remove the final drive and draw the drive shafts, than it is to release the drums on the half shafts for access.

Thank you.
Already replaced the master cylinders.
Just needed to set it with the 19 mm taper nut. Brakes fine now.
Glad I registered on the forum.
