mately two full turns counter-clockwise.
To re-engage the transmission, rotate each transmission hex
valve clockwise to the end of its travel. Return the seat to the

must be unlocked and the parking brake released. The
tractor should never be pulled more than two miles per
hour or for any appreciable distance.
