RETURN-TO-NEUTRAL ADJUSTMENT

 

 

 

To determine if it is necessary to adjust the neutral return,

 

 

 

perform the following steps.

 

A

 

1. Disengage the PTO, engage the parking brake and

 

 

 

D

E

turn off the engine.

 

 

 

2. Move the ground speed control levers into the

 

 

 

operating position, pull levers rearward and release.

 

 

 

3. Move the ground speed control levers out towards the

neutral position. If the levers do not align with the

A. Set Collar

 

 

notches in the neutral lock plate, it is necessary to

adjust the adjustment linkage rod (B, Figure 33).

ADJUSTMENT

D. Neutral Return Bushing

 

 

1. Pull the ground speed control lever rearward and

E. Spring Stop Plate

 

 

 

 

 

release to check position. If the ground speed control

 

 

 

lever does not align itself with the notch in the neutral

 

 

 

plate, then move the set collar (A, Figure 33) forward

 

 

 

or back on the adjustment linkage rod (B) until the

 

 

 

ground speed control lever aligns with the notch.

 

 

 

Retighten the set collar.

 

 

 

2. Make sure that the neutral return bushing (D) is

 

 

 

seated correctly in the spring stop plate (E).

 

 

 

3. Pull the ground speed control lever rearward and

 

 

 

release to check position again. Adjust as necessary

 

 

 

to align the ground speed control levers with the

 

 

 

notches in the neutral lock plate.

 

 

 

It is important to note that after every adjustment of the

 

 

 

adjustment linkage rod, the lever must be pulled rearward

 

 

 

and released to properly check the neutral position.

 

 

 

NEUTRAL ADJUSTMENT

 

 

 

If the tractor “creeps” while the ground speed control

A

 

 

levers are locked in NEUTRAL, than it may be necessary

 

 

 

 

 

to adjust the linkage rod.

B

 

 

 

 

 

NOTE: Perform this adjustment on a hard, level surface

 

 

 

such as a concrete floor.

 

 

 

1. Disengage the PTO, engage the parking brake and

 

 

 

turn off the engine.

 

 

 

2. There are three nuts (B, Figure 34) on the linkage rod.

Figure 34. Neutral Adjustment

 

 

The first two are to be used together to turn the rod

 

 

and the third (towards the front of the machine) is

(Left side shown)

 

 

used to lock the rod in place. Loosen the jam nut that

A. Adjustment Linkage Rod

 

 

locks against the ball joint (B) and turn the linkage rod

B. Nuts

 

 

(A) to adjust. If the machine creeps forward, turn the rod CLOCKWISE (while standing at the rear of the machine, facing forward), if the machine creeps backward, turn the rod COUNTER-CLOCKWISE.

3.Lock the jam nut (B) against the ball joint when neutral is achieved.

NOTE: This adjustment should not be performed while the machine is running. It may take several attempts to achieved neutral, depending upon how much the machine creeps.
