5.Remove the flange lock nut and hex screw securing the transmission control rod to the transmission control arm. Wheel rotation should stop. If it does not, contact your Troy-Bilt Service Dealer.

6.If the rotation stops, adjust the control rod up or down as necessary to align with the hole in the transmission control arm. Re-insert the hex nut into the hole in the control arm and secure with the hex lock nut.

7.If necessary, repeat the previous two steps to adjust the other transmission control rod.

8.Lower the tractor and remove the jack.

Tractor High Speed Tracking

If the tractor tracks to one side with both drive control levers fully forward, adjust the control levers as follows:

1.Check for proper and balanced air pressure in both front and rear tires. Refill tires if necessary.

2.Perform the first three steps in the previous sub-section,

Tractor Creeping, to verify that the tractor is not creeping. If creeping, adjust following the instructions in that sub-section.

3.Recheck the tracking after making any adjustments to the transmission control rods.

4.If uneven tracking persists, note which direction the tractor is tracking.

a.If the tractor tracks to the right, adjust the control lever stop bolt on the left side.

b.If the tractor tracks to the left, adjust the control lever stop bolt on the right side.

5.Locate the applicable stop bolt on the left or right console.

See Fig. 7-10.

6.Loosen the jam nut on the stop bolt, then turn the stop bolt counterclockwise to make it longer. Recheck the tracking and fine tune the adjustment as necessary.

NOTE: If the stop bolt is adjusted too far, the tracking problem will change sides. Make fine tuning adjustments by shortening the same bolt.

7.Tighten the jam nut against the console and reposition the control lever as necessary to make the two control handles even with each other.
