Tractor Creeping

Creeping is the slight forward or backward movement of the tractor when the engine is running at high idle and the drive control levers are opened out in the neutral position.

If after operating the tractor for some time, it begins to creep while in the neutral position, adjust the transmission control rods as follows.

•Place the front of the tractor against an immovable object (e.g. wall, post, etc.).

•Jack up the rear of the tractor so that both rear wheels are approximately one inch of the ground.

•With the engine running at high idle and the drive control levers opened out in the neutral position, and the parking brake disengaged, check the rear wheels for rotation.

•If only one wheel is rotating, locate the transmission control rod beneath the frame at the front of the rear tire. If both wheels rotate, locate both control rods. See Figure 7-9.

•Remove the internal cotter pin securing the ferrule to the transmission control arm and withdraw the ferrule. Wheel rotation should stop. If it does not, contact your Troy-Bilt Service Dealer.

•If the rotation stops, adjust the ferrule up or down the control rod as necessary to align with the hole in the transmission control arm. Re-insert the ferrule into the hole in the control arm and secure with the internal cotter pin.

•If necessary, repeat the previous two steps to adjust the other transmission control rod.

•Lower the tractor and remove the jack.

Tractor High Speed Tracking

If the tractor tracks to one side with both drive control levers fully forward, adjust the control levers as follows:

•Check for proper and balanced air pressure in both front and rear tires. Refill tires if necessary.

•Perform the first three steps in the previous sub- section, Tractor Creeping, to verify that the tractor is not creeping. If creeping, adjust following the instructions in that sub-section.

•Recheck the tracking after making any adjustments to the transmission control rods.

•If uneven tracking persists, note which direction the tractor is tracking.

-If the tractor tracks to the right, adjust the control lever stop bolt on the left side.

-If the tractor tracks to the left, adjust the control lever stop bolt on the right side.

•Locate the applicable stop bolt on the left or right console. See Figure 7-10.

•Loosen the jam nut on the stop bolt, then turn the stop bolt counterclockwise to make it longer. Recheck the tracking and fine tune the adjustment as necessary. NOTE: If the stop bolt is adjusted too far, the tracking problem will change sides. Make fine tuning adjustments by shortening the same bolt.

•Tighten the jam nut against the console and reposition the control lever as necessary to make the two control handles even with each other.
