HYDRO-GEAR TRANSAXLE
Neutral Adjustment – Hydro-Gear
Transaxle
Before making a neutral adjustment, the transaxle
must be warmed up, usually 5 to 10 minutes. Steps to
perform neutral adjustment:
1. Jack-up and support the right rear end of the
tractor, allowing enough clearance to remove the
right rear tire. Make sure the left rear tire stays on
the ground (Figure 165).

2. Loosen the two bolts and nuts retaining the neutral
switch bracket, so it can be moved with a small
amount of force (Figure 166).
