How do I adjust brakes on a horse drawn amish buggy?

Amish electoral participation is limited, though some Amish do vote

trailers are made from what ever parts are available at the time. Best suggestion is to take the linings/pads off a wheel and visit a local brake shop for identification

Tune-up !!

They left with the horse & buggy,decades ago

Spark Plugs only --- every 60,000 miles

IS IT MANUAL OR AUTO? IF MANUAL YOUR CLUTCH IS MOST LIKELY SHOT OR GEARS ARE BENT BE CAREFUL AS U CAN CHIP FLY WHEEL AND THATS A PAIN CAUSE IT CAN SHATTER UR STARTER AND THEN YOUR IN FOR A EXPENSIVE REPAIR IF YOU DONT DO THE WORK URSELF
WITH TRANSMISSION CHECK THE FLUID IT MAY B LOW OR FLUID BURNT AND LET A DROP FALL ON UR FINGER IF METAL FRAGMENTS ARE IN IT U NEED TRANNY
BEST OF LUCK TO U I HAVE BEEN IN UR SHOES MANY TIMES MANY DIFFERENT CARS AND TRUCKS AND IM NOT EVEN 50 YET :)
POSS THE TRANNYS FLUID COULD B CLOGGED AND NEEDS CHANGING ,CARS ARE A NIGHTMARE I SEE WHY THE AMISH HAVE HORSE AND BUGGY'S

it's a standard leading trailing bendix brake system, small shoe to the front, larger shoe to the rear. The spring are ease. THE springs that look the same go behind the shoes, the biggest spring goes at the top of the brake assembly, and the spring thats medium goes on the bottem. Don't forget the horse shoe clip to the e-brake cable. The adjustment peice goes near the top. Adjust it all the way and spin the drum while you use the mopar adjustment tool to set the e-brake adjust ment. you should get 1/2 to one full rotation before the drum drum stops spinning. don't forget to gravitey bleed your brake (open the rear bleed screws at the same time, then the front).

Tune-ups went the way of the horse and buggy,in 1980 when electronics took over

Nothing to Tune or Adjust,just an auto industry stuck in the past,afraid to educate the motoring public

disc brake calipers to my knowledge have no adjustment. they have problems due to improper bleeding, pads wearing out, and stuck components which do not allow pinching and relaxing with pushing and releasing of the pedal. if you are talking about the parking brake, that is a horse of another color.

if it is shaking maybe it could be the belts in the tires.

See if it has a mass air flow sensor. If so, Service or replace,
