TRANSMISSION REMOVAL/REPLACEMENT

Should your transmission require removal for service or replacement, it should be purged after reinstallation and before operating the tractor. See“PURGETRANSMISSION” in the Operation section of this manual.

TRANSAXLE MOTION CONTROL LEVER NEUTRAL ADJUSTMENT (See Fig. 25)

The motion control lever has been preset at the factory and adjustment should not be necessary.

•Loosen adjustment bolt in front of the right rear wheel, and lightly tighten.

•Start engine and move motion control lever until tractor does not move forward or backward.

•Hold motion control lever in that position and turn engine off.

•While holding motion control lever in place, loosen the adjustment bolt.

•Move motion control lever to the neutral (N) (lock gate) position.

•Tighten adjustment bolt securely.

NOTE: If additional clearance is needed to get to adjustment bolt, move mower deck height to the lowest position.

After above adjustment is made, if the tractor still creeps forward or backward while motion control lever is in neutral position, follow these steps:

•Loosen the adjustment bolt.

•Move the motion control lever 1/4 to 1/2 inch in the direction it is trying to creep.

•Tighten adjustment bolt securely.

•Start engine and test.

•If tractor still creeps, repeat above steps until satis- fied.

TO REMOVE WHEEL FOR REPAIRS (See Fig. 26)

•Block up axle securely.

•On rear wheels only: align grooves in rear wheel hub and axle. Insert square key.
