Major adjustment is more involved than this 'minor adjustment', involving
removal of wheels and an inspection port on front of drum and feeler gauges.
Looking at the back of the backing plate, the right adjuster turns
clockwise and the left adjuster turns counter clockwise.....From the manual:
T M 9 - 2 3 2 0 - 2 0 9 - 2 0 - 3 - 2
1 3 - 9 .

Also,
Brake adjustment on an M35, the adjuster nuts on
the inside of the wheels, you turn them which
direction to snug the shoe against the drum? And
how far do you back it off? 1/4 turn? 1/8th Turn?
How's that Joe? ;-)
