If the tractor “creeps” while the ground speed control levers are locked in NEUTRAL, then it may be necessary to adjust the linkage rod.

	NOTE: Perform this adjustment on a hard, level	A
	surface such as a concrete floor.	A
	surface such as a concrete floor.
	1. Disengage the PTO, engage the parking brake and turn	B
	off the engine.
	2. There are three nuts (B, Figure 35) on the linkage rod
	(A). The first two are to be used together to turn the rod
	and the third (towards the front of the machine) is used
	to lock the rod in place. Loosen the jam nut that locks
	against the ball joint and turn the linkage rod to adjust.	Figure 35. Neutral Adjustment
	If the machine creeps forward, turn the rod CLOCKWISE	(LH side shown)
	(while standing at the rear of the machine, facing	A. Adjustment Linkage Rod
	forward), if the machine creeps backward, turn the rod	B. Nuts

	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.
