Return-to-Neutral Adjustment

To determine if it is necessary to adjust the neutral return, perform the following steps.

1.Disengage the PTO, engage the parking brake and turn off the engine.

2.Move the ground speed control levers into the operating position, pull the levers rearward and release.

3.Move the ground speed control levers out towards the neutral position. If the levers do not align with the notches in the neutral lock plate, it is necessary to adjust the neutral return rod (B, Figure 35).

Adjustment

WARNING

To avoid serious injury, perform adjustments only with the engine stopped, the key removed and the tractor on level ground.

1.Disengage the PTO, engage the parking brake and turn off the engine.

2.There are three jam nuts (A, Figure 35) on the linkage rod (B). The first two are 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. If the machine creeps forward, turn the linkage 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 (A) against the ball joint when neutral is achieved.

4.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.

NOTE: This adjustment should not be performed while the machine is running.
