Brake issues and pto belt issues craftsman 2000 riding mower?

I have a craftsman 2000 riding mower with the cvt , I have adjusted the brakes the barely work, still, also every time I disengage the pto it throws the deck belt otherwise a great mower any ideas if there is adjustments aside from tightening the caliper on the brake , and is there a pto adjustable or is the belt just too stretched?
