To obtain the best cutting results, the mower housing
should be adjusted so that the front is approximately 1
/ 8 " to
1/2" lower than the rear when the mower is in its highest
position.
Check adjustment on right side of tractor. Measure dis­
tance “D” directly in front and behind the mandrel at bottom
edge of mower housing as shown.
•
Before making any necessary adjustments, check that
both front links are equal in length. Both links should
be approximately 10-3/8".
• If links are not equal in length, adjust one link to same
length as other link.
• To lower front of mower loosen nut “E” on both front
links an equal number of turns.
• When distance “D” is 1/8" to 1/2" lower at front than
rear, tighten nuts “F” against trunnion on both front
links.
• To raise front of mower, loosen nut “F” from trunnion on
both front links. Tighten nut “E” on both front links an
equal number of turns.
• When distance “D" is 1/8" to 1/2" lower at front than

TO ADJUST BRAKE (See Fig. 22)
Your tractor is equipped with an adjustable brake system
which is mounted on the right side of the transaxle.
If tractor requires more than six (6) feet stopping distance
at high speed in highest gear, then brake must be adjusted.
• Depress clutch/brake pedal and engage parking brake.
• Measure distance between brake operating arm and
nut “A” on brake rod.
• If distance isotherthan 1-1/2", loosen jam nut and turn
nut “A” until distance becomes 1-1/2". Retighten jam
nut against nut “A”.
• Road test tractorfor proper stopping distance as stated
above. Readjust if necessary. If stopping distance is
still greater than six (6) feet in highest gear, further
maintenance is necessary. Contact your nearest au­
thorized service center/department.
