NEUTRAL ADJUSTMENT
If the tractor “creeps” while the ground speed control
levers are locked in NEUTRAL, than it may be neces-
sary 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 (3) nuts 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 clevis (B, Figure 29) and turn the linkage
rod (A, Figure 29) 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, Figure 29) against the clevis
when neutral is achieved.
NOTE: This adjustment should not be performed while
the machine is running. It may take several attempts to
achieve neutral, depending upon how much the machine
creeps.
CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
The cutting height adjustment pin (A, Figure 30) controls
the mower cutting height. The cutting height is
adjustable between 1-1/2” (3.8cm) and 4-1/2” (11.4cm)
in 1/4” (.64cm) increments.
Depress the deck lift foot pedal (B, Figure 30), placing
the majority of the force on the top edge of the pedal
until it locks into the “TRANSPORT” position. Place the
cutting height adjustment pin in the desired cutting
height. Depress the deck lift foot pedal, placing the
majority of the force on the bottom edge of the pedal to
release the pedal from the “TRANSPORT” position.
