1.28. Connect the choke and throttle control cables in
the slack position.
1.29. On gasoline powered tractors:
• Apply full choke, confirm that the choke plate is
fully closed, tighten the choke cable clamp.
• Release the choke, confirm that the choke plate
in the carburetor opens fully.
NOTE: If the choke does not fully close, the trac-
tor will be extremely difficult to start when the
engine is cold.
1.30. Adjust the throttle cable so that the wide open
throttle travel stop on the injector pump or carbu-
retor coincides with the full throttle travel stop on
the control lever.
1.31. Tighten the throttle cable clamp.
1.32. If the throttle lever has been disassembled, con-
firm that sufficient friction exists to maintain a
throttle setting. Do not apply so much friction
that the throttle lever becomes difficult to move.
1.33. If throttle tension needs to be adjusted, do so
before the dash panel is fastened down. It will
be necessary to lift the dash panel to reach the
adjustment nut with a 9/16” wrench.
See Figure 1.33.

2. THE DASH PANEL
2.1. The primary reason to remove the dash panel
would be to gain access to the following items:
• parking brake linkage, mounted to the pedestal
• steering shaft & pump, mounted to the pedestal
• throttle assembly, mounted to the dash panel
2.2. There are electrical components (instrument
panel, key switch, dash panel wire harness, PTO
switch , hazard flasher switch, headlight switch,
hazard flasher relay) mounted to the dash panel.
It is not necessary to remove the dash panel to
service any of these components.
See Figure 2.2.
2.3. When in position on the tractor, access to the
throttle assembly is blocked by the heat shield.
