NEUTRAL ADJUSTMENT
If the tractor “creeps” while the ground speed control
levers are locked in NEUTRAL, than it may be neces-
sary to adjust the linkage rod.
NOTE: Perform this adjustment on a hard, level surface
such as a concrete floor.
1. Disengage the PTO, engage the parking brake and
turn off the engine.
2. There are three (3) nuts on the linkage rod. The first
two are to be used together to turn the rod and the
third (towards the front of the machine) is used to
lock the rod in place. Loosen the jam nut that locks
against the clevis (B, Figure 26) and turn the linkage
rod (A) to adjust. If the machine creeps forward, turn
the rod CLOCKWISE (while standing at the rear of
the machine, facing forward), if the machine creeps
backward, turn the rod COUNTER-CLOCKWISE.
3. Lock the jam nut (B) against the clevis when neutral
is achieved.
NOTE: This adjustment should not be performed while
the machine is running. It may take several attempts to
achieved neutral, depending upon how much the
machine creeps.
RETURN-TO-NEUTRAL
ADJUSTMENT
To determine if it is necessary to adjust the neutral
return, perform the following steps.
1. Disengage the PTO, engage the parking brake and
turn off the engine.
2. Move the ground speed control levers into the oper-
ating position, pull levers rearward and release.
3. Move the ground speed control levers towards the
neutral position. If the levers do not align with the
notches in the neutral lock plate, it is necessary to
adjust the neutral return rod (C, Figure 27).
Adjustment
1. Loosen the jam nut (B) locked against the ball joint
(A).
2. Turn the neutral return rod (C) to adjust handle posi-
tion (see Figure 27).
4. Pull lever rearward and release to check position
again. Adjust as necessary to align levers with
notches.
5. Once the lever alignment has been adjusted, lock
jam nut against the ball joint.
