Return-To-Neutral &
Neutral Adjustment
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
operating position, pull levers rearward and release.
3. Move the ground speed control levers out towards the
neutral position. If the levers do not align with the
notches in the neutral lock plate, it is necessary to
adjust the adjustment linkage rod (B, Figure 33).
ADJUSTMENT
1. Pull the ground speed control lever rearward and
release to check position. If the ground speed control
lever does not align itself with the notch in the neutral
plate, then move the set collar (A, Figure 33) forward
or back on the adjustment linkage rod (B) until the
ground speed control lever aligns with the notch.
Retighten the set collar.
2. Make sure that the neutral return bushing (D) is
seated correctly in the spring stop plate (E).
3. Pull the ground speed control lever rearward and
release to check position again. Adjust as necessary
to align the ground speed control levers with the
notches in the neutral lock plate.
It is important to note that after every adjustment of the
adjustment linkage rod, the lever must be pulled rearward
and released to properly check the neutral position.
NEUTRAL ADJUSTMENT
If the tractor “creeps” while the ground speed control
levers are locked in NEUTRAL, than it may be necessary
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 nuts (B, Figure 34) 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 ball joint (B) 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 ball joint 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.
