DRIVING THE TRACTOR
(International Cub Cadet 71, 102 and 122 Tractors)
CLUTCH AND BRAKE PEDAL
Note: Do not rest your foot on the pedalwhile
driving the tractor, as this will result
in excessive clutch lining wear.
The combination clutch and brake pedal is
used to disengage the engine from the trans-
mission when shifting gears and to actuate the
brake to stop the tractor. The pedal must be
pressed all the way down to activate the safety
starting switch when starting the engine.
Always be sure the rear wheels are free
to turn. Under any adverse conditions, do not
attempt to free the tractor by speeding up the
engine and suddenly engaging the clutch. Try
backing out instead of going forward.
To disengage the clutch, press the pedal
approximately half way down. To stop the trac-
tor press the pedal all the way down.
STOPPING THE TRACTOR
Disengage the clutch by pressing the pedal
all the way down. Move the gearshift lever to
the neutral position.
LOCKING THE BRAKE
CREEPER SHIFT LEVER
Always lock the brake when the tractor is
parked on a grade. To lock the brake, press
down on the brake pedal; ther. place the brake
pedal lock in the engaged position. To disen-
gage the lock, press down on the brake pedal
lift the lock up and place it in the disengagE:d
position behind the brake pedal as shown in
Illust. 17A.
The creeper drive provides a slower speed
in each respective gear, by a four-to-one re-
duction in speed from direct drive. When the
creeper shift lever is all the way forward, it
is in direct drive, or all the way rearward, it
is in creeper drive. See Illust. 3. Note: Do not
use a mid-point position on the creeper driveas
neutral. Neutral position must be selected
only with the standard transmission gearshift
lever.
