NEUTRAL ADJUSTMENT
Broadmoor (Tuff Torq K60 Hydrostatic
Transaxle)
NOTE: Perform this adjustment procedure only if tractor
moves forward or reverse when ground speed control
lever is in neutral gate.
1. Place jackstand under each side of rear drawbar.
Adjust jackstand height until rear wheels are off the
ground.
2. Hydro transmission has pre-set internal neutral
adjustment. If tractor creeps when control lever is in
neutral, first loosen nut (A, Figure 8) that attached
shift rod lever (B) to shift pivot assembly (C).
Directional cam (E) will return to factory pre-set
neutral. If wheels continue to move with control lever
in neutral, a problem exists with internal adjustment.
See the repair section of this manual for detailed ser-
vice instructions. If wheels do not move, perform the
following steps to align cams.
3. Loosen nut (D) securing lever assembly pivot.
4. With nut (A) loosened, make sure ground speed con-
trol lever is in neutral slot on dash.
5. Push spring-loaded directional cam (E) side-to-side
and allow cam to return-to-neutral.
6. With cam (E) stationary, move shift pivot assembly
(C) until 1/4” hole in cam and pivot assembly line up.
Insert 1/4” positioning pin F or 1/4” rod through both
parts. Cam (E) must remain in neutral position.
7. With positioning pin in place, tighten nut (D), and then
tighten nut (A).
8. Remove positioning pin and move ground speed con-
trol lever through forward and reverse ranges and
return lever to neutral.
9. Check to see if positioning pin can be freely inserted
(from bottom side) through directional cam (E), and
lever assembly (C). If alignment is good, go to step
10. If pin cannot be inserted, repeat steps 2 - 8.
10. With ground speed control lever in neutral position,
start unit (with rear wheels off the ground), and check
for wheel movement. Wheels should not move due
to internal neutral adjustment. If wheels move,
recheck that positioning pin can be inserted freely
through directional cam (E) and lever assembly (C)
with ground speed control lever in neutral position. If
neutral cannot be found, a problem exists with the
unit’s shift linkages.
11. After neutral adjustment, move the ground speed
control lever to forward range and depress the
clutch/brake pedal. The control lever should return to
the neutral position in dash, and wheels should not
move. Move ground speed control lever to reverse
range and repeat check. Return-To-Neutral
Adjustment is correct when the above adjustment
steps are followed.
