Troubleshooting, Adjustment & Service
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 control linkage.
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 rear of the machine) is used to
lock the rod in place. Loosen the third jam nut (B,
Figure 27) and turn the adjustment linkage (A, Figure
27) to adjust. If the machine creeps forward, turn the
linkage CLOCKWISE (while standing at the rear of
the machine, facing forward), if the machine creeps
backward, turn the linkage COUNTER-CLOCKWISE.
3. Lock the jam nut (B) 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.
NEUTRAL SPRING RETURN
ADJUSTMENT
This adjustment will tailor the “feel” of the control levers
to the operator.
Each of the springs (A, Figure 28) has three adjustment
holes (B, Figure 28). The closer the spring is located to
the neutral return arm’s pivot (D, Figure 28), the less
spring force will be felt by the operator while driving and
will return to neutral slower.
The farther the spring is located from the neutral return
arm’s pivot (D, Figure 28), the more spring force will be
felt by the operator while driving and will return to neu-
tral faster.
NOTE: These adjustments must be made to BOTH sides
at the same time, and be placed in the SAME position to
one another.
