Neutral Adjustment

 

 

 

 

 

 

If the unit “creeps” while the forward speed control lever is

 

 

A

 

locked in the NEUTRAL position, then it may be necessary to

 

 

 

 

 

adjust the adjustment linkage rods

 

 

 

 

 

 

NOTE: Perform this adjustment on a hard, level surface such

 

B

 

as a concrete floor.

 

 

 

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

 

off the engine.

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. There are two jam nuts (B, Figure 20) on each linkage

 

 

 

 

rod (C). Loosen the jam nuts on both linkage rods and

 

 

C

 

turn the linkage rods evenly to adjust. If the machine

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

creeps forward, turn the rods COUNTER-CLOCKWISE

 

 

 

 

(while standing at the rear of the machine, looking

 

 

B

 

down), if the machine creeps backward, turn the rods

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

CLOCKWISE.

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. Lock the jam nuts (B) against the ball studs (A) when

 

 

 

 

neutral is achieved.

NOTE: This adjustment should not be performed while the

Speed Balancing Adjustment

 

 

 

 

 

(S/N: 2014523387 & Below)

 

 

 

 

 

 

If the unit veers to the right or left when you are driving the

 

 

 

 

machine, the top speed of each wheel can be balanced by

 

 

 

 

turning the linkage adjuster rod (C, Figure 21). Only adjust

 

 

 

 

the speed of the wheel that is traveling faster.

 

 

 

A

To Reduce the Speed of the Faster Wheel:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1. Loosen the jam nut (B).

 

 

 

 

 

B

2. Turn the linkage adjuster rod COUNTER-CLOCKWISE to

 

 

 

 

reduce the speed.

 

 

 

 

 

C

3. Retighten the jam nut when adjustment is complete.

 

 

 

 

WARNING

 

 

 

 

 

 

Do NOT adjust the tractor for a faster overall speed forward or reverse than it was designed for.
