3.Locate neutral adjustment nut underneath the right rear of the tractor. See Figure 4.20

4.Turn the neutral adjustment nut 1/4 turn clockwise to reduce FORWARD creep. Turn the adjustment nut 1/4 turn counter clockwise to reduce Reverse creep. Only turn the adjustment nut in 1/4 turn increments.

5.Check for creep in neutral. Start engine. Move speed control lever to rear edge of the neutral detent. Machine should not move. If further adjustment is required, stop engine and repeat Step 4.
