• Make certain the steering wheel is in posi-
tion for straight-ahead travel before again
taking measurements. Continue to repeat
the steps above until a proper adjustment
is achieved.
• Secure the tie rod to the right axle with the

ment cotter pin.

cotter pin once it has been removed.
LUBRICATION
WARNING: Before lubricating,
repairing, or inspecting, always
disengage PTO, move speed
control lever into neutral position,
set parking brake, stop engine and
remove key to prevent unintended
starting.
Engine
Lubricate the engine with motor oil as in-
structed in separate engine manual packed
with your unit.
Rear Wheels
The rear wheels should be removed from the
axles once a season. Lubricate the axles and
the rims well with an all-purpose grease be-
fore re-installing them.
Front Axles
Each end of the tractor’s front pivot bar may
be equipped with a grease fitting. If so
equipped, lubricate with a grease gun after
every 25 hours of tractor operation.
Pivot Points & Linkage
Lubricate all the pivot points on the drive
system, brake pedal and lift linkage at least
once a season with light oil.
Steering Shaft and Gear
Lubricate teeth of steering gears with auto-
motive multi-purpose grease after every 25
hours of operation or once a season. See
Figure 17.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Disconnect the spark
plug wire and ground against the
engine before performing any
repairs or maintenance.
WARNING: Before performing any
maintenance or repairs, place the
deck engagement/lift lever in the
BLADES STOP position, move
speed control lever into neutral
position, set parking brake, stop
engine and remove key to prevent
unintended starting.
CLEANING THE ENGINE AND DECK
Any fuel or oil spilled on the machine should
be wiped off promptly. Do NOT allow debris
to accumulate around the cooling fins of the
engine or on any other part of the machine,
especially the belts, pulleys and other mov-
ing parts. Clean the underside of the deck
with a wisk broom, scraper or forced air after
each mowing.
IMPORTANT: The use of a pressure washer
or garden hose to clean your tractor is NOT
recommended. It may cause damage to
electrical components, spindles, pulleys,
bearings or the engine. The use of water will
result in a shortened life of the tractor and
reduce its serviceability.
ENGINE
Refer to the separate engine manual for en-
gine maintenance instructions.
Check engine oil level before each use as in-
structed in the separate engine manual
packed with your unit. Read and follow in-
structions carefully.
Changing Engine Oil
(models equipped with an oil drain
sleeve)
For draining oil from the engine’s crankcase
of select model tractors, a plastic oil drain
sleeve is packed with this operator’s manual.
To drain the oil, proceed as follows:
• Unscrew oil fill cap and remove dipstick
from the oil fill tube. See Figure 15.
• Snap the small end of oil drain sleeve onto
the oil sump. See Figure 15.
