Wheel Alignment
The front wheels should toe-in approximately 1/8".
Measure the distances A and B on the front
wheels. (See figure 30.)
NOTE
Dimension B should be approxi­
mately 1/8 inch less than dimension
A.
To adjust the toe-in, loosen the hex jam nut,
remove the elastic lock nut, lift the tie rod end out
of the hole in the steering arm and screw the tie
rod end in or out as necessary. (See figure 31.)
Reassemble the tie rod end after the correct align­
ment is made.
Control Lever Adjustment
The hydrostatic control lever should be adjusted
so that the tractor does not creep forward or
backward when the control lever is in the neutral
(N) position. When the brake pedal is depressed,
the control lever should return to the neutral area
or close enough so that the brake prevents tractor
motion. If this does not occur, adjust the control
lèveras follows.
NOTE
This adjustment is made with the
engine off.
1. Depress the brake and pull the Start/Park
Lever into the Start/Park position.
2. Loosen the four jam nuts so the lever can be
moved without moving the control rod. (See
figure 32.)
3. Move the control lever to the neutral (N) posi­
tion. (See figure 33.)
4. Retighten the jam nuts on each side of the fer­
rule without moving the control lever.
5. Start the engine and test the unit.
6. If the tractor stops and does not creep, but the
lever is still slightly off the neutral position
the control index bracket may be loosened
and centered to the lever.
7. This procedure may be repeated until the
proper adjustment is obtained.
