Neutral Adjustment – Tuff Torq
Transaxle
You must perform a neutral adjustment whenever a
tractor creeps in neutral, or whenever a new or rebuilt
transaxle is installed in the tractor.
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 114).

2. Remove the access panel at the rear of the tractor
to gain access to the neutral adjusting eccentric,
which is located on the top right-hand side next to
the gas damper arm (Figure 115).

3. Disconnect the seat switch and attach a jumper
wire across the terminals. This enables the tractor
to run without an operator in the seat.
4. Start the tractor and set the engine speed at ¾ to
full throttle.
