Adjusting the Control Rod

After completing the previous steps (1 thru 4) for checking neutral setting, adjust the control rod ( See Figure 15) as follows:

NOTE

The brake pedal lock MUST be engaged to properly adjust the control rod.

1.Loosen, but do not remove, the hex tap screws that fasten the front and rear control rods together.

2.While making certain to not move the front control rod, control cam or control arm (See Figure 15), slide the rear control rod in the direction necessary to directly align the pin of the pivot sleeve with the lower hole of the control arm.

3.Insert the pivot sleeve pin into the control arm and secure with the hairpin cotter, then tighten the hex tap screws. Make sure to maintain the adjusted position of the control rods when tightening the screws.

ADJUSTING LIFT ASSIST SPRING TENSION

The effort required to operate the implement lift handle can be varied by loosening or tightening the lift assist spring adjusting bolt (See Figure 16). The bolt can be accessed from the rear of the tractor, inside the left rear wheel. Turning the adjusting bolt clockwise will decrease the manual effort required for lifting attachments; turning counterclockwise will increase the effort needed to lift the attachment.
