Neutral Adjustment - (Linkage with one ball joint)
If the tractor creeps forward or back with transmission in
neutral notch, adjust as follows:
1. Raise rear of tractor off ground with suitable hoist or
floor jack. Install jackstands underneath transaxle and
block front wheels.
2. Raise the seat deck. The control lever quadrant (A.
Figure 7-3. ) is mounted with slotted holes so it can be
adjusted. Loosen the two self-tapping screws (C) and
move the quadrant so the screws are centered in the
quadrant slots. Then tighten the two screws.
3. Place speed control lever in neutral position. Start
engine and run at maximum RPM.
4. Loosen jam nut (B, figure 7-4) and adjust control link
length by rotating nut (A, figure 7-4) in either direc-
tion until wheels stop rotating. Snug jam nut (B)
finger-tight.
5. Check for neutral from forward and reverse with
speed control lever. Repeat steps 3 and 4 if needed.
6. Hold the adjustment nut (A) and tighten outer jam
nut (B) securely.
7. Remove unit from jackstands or jack.
