speed control lever is in the Neutral position, the turn- buckle may need adjusting. See figure 24. To adjust, place the control lever in the neutral position. THE HYDRO-
STATIC LOCKOUT AT THE REAR OF THE TRACTOR MUST BE IN THE “DRIVE” POSITION. Loosen the nuts at each end of the turnbuckle. Start the engine. If the trac- tor creeps forward turn the top of the turnbuckle toward the tractor. If the tractor creeps backward, rcztate the top of the turnbuckle away from the tractor. When the tum- buckle is adjusted so the tractor will not creep, tighten the nuts at each end.

ADJUSTMENT
FIGURE 25 1
Brake Adjustment, Foot Pedal: The foot pedal brake ad- justment is at the right rear of tractors equipped with hy- drostatic transmissions and at the left rear of those with the variable speed. See f@re 26. To adjust, it is necessary to loosen the two nuts. Hold the front one and turn the rear nut counterclockwise to loosen. Turn the forward nut clockwise to ,tighten the ,breke and counterclockwise, to loosen. Tighten only enough so the brake will stop the tractor. Further tightening of the brake may cause the brake to drag when moving the tractor. When the brake is adjusted so it works properly, tighten the rear nut up a- gainst the forward one to lock them in place. Hold the for- ward one with a wrench so you do not change the adjust- ment when tightening the nuts together.
