3. EXTERNAL CHECKS
NOTE: Linkage adjustment procedures are cov-
ered in the 2003 Cub Cadet Technical Hand-
book, pages 6-129 through 6-131.
3.1. Remove the fender cover using a phillips head
screwdriver and a 1/2” wrench. See Figure 3.1.
NOTE: It will be necessary to pry-up the inside
edges of the black rubber floor pads to get the
fender cover off.
3.2. If the transmission creeps, or the tractor fails to
achieve normal ground speed, check the neutral
control adjustment and control linkages to the
hydro. See Figure 3.2.
NOTE: Complete neutral control adjustment pro-
cedures can be found in the 2003 Cub Cadet
Technical Handbook, page 6-129 through 6-131
3.3. If the brake and drive pedals “fight” with each
other, the drive control linkage is out of adjust-
ment. See Figure 3.3.
3.4. If the tractor fails to achieve normal ground
speed, and the hydro pump emits an unusual
amount of noise, check for brake drag:
• Confirm that the neutral return and hydro control
linkages are correctly adjusted.
• With the tractor on a smooth, firm, level surface,
place the gear selector in neutral, release the
parking brake, and attempt to push the tractor.
• If the tractor does not roll with a reasonable
amount of effort, check the brakes.
• The left and right brakes can be checked individ-
ually by jacking-up the rear of the tractor and
attempting to rotate the rear wheels individually.
Leave the transmission in neutral.
• If either or both brakes drag, confirm that the
linkage moves firmly and is properly adjusted.
• If the linkages are properly adjusted, and brake
drag is still present, remove the wheel and brake
assembly on the side that drags. Inspect the
brake assembly.
NOTE: Complete brake adjustment procedures
can be found in the 2003 Cub Cadet Technical
Handbook, page 6-131 through 6-133.
