Troy Bilt Bronco Brakes

Okay is the lever on brake making it full arc. if so then either brake caliper needs adjusting or someone put it back together missing the engagement pins or the brake pad. There is also a pad behind the disc rotor.

This may be the dumbest question I’ve asked but is the transmission tight on the frame? I vaguely remember having a unit where the transmission was loose and moving forward, which will shorten the rod length needed. Just gasping at the unknown.

It hasn't appeared loose, but I'll get the frame in the air and see if there's any adjustment in the bolts.
 
The transmission only mounts to the frame in holes. No slots and no room for adjustment. Additionally, there aren't any drag marks where it would have slid forward.

Looking at the system, it would have to move forward at least an inch to be this far out of adjustment.
 
I am assuming this problem started quickly and not gradually. If you look at the parts diagram at the brake pedal shaft (Item 4) you will notice 2 levers attached to the shaft. The slotted one at the distal end and another lever with 2 holes near the #65 on the diagram at the proximal end near the pedal. When you watch the video the slotted lever and it's attached rod (#53) is the primary interest; however, when you look at the proximal lever near #65 and the rod attached to it, you will notice that the bend in that rod causes it to hit the brake shaft (item 4) preventing the pedal from being pressed further. In turn, that prevents rod #53 from moving forward. I believe the bent rod attached to the lever (near #65) has been attached upside down. If you turn it over, the bend in the rod will allow you to push the pedal further down allowing rod #53 to be pulled further forward and applying more pressure on the brake. The diagram doesn't show the bent rod, so I am not sure it is upside down. Theory is based on the video. What do you think?

That bent rod is #56 in the diagram.

If the brake lever didn't have full throw, I would tend to agree. However, I can move the brake pedal from stop to stop. It's able to activate the brake switch and even engage the parking brake. What the video is showing is the brake pedal's full throw.
