hex valve located on the top of each transmission approximately one
turn counter-clockwise.
To re-engage the transmission, rotate each transmission hex valve
clockwise to the end of its travel. Return the seat to the operating
position.

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.
