decks. The following information will
be helpful when using a Cub Cadet
mowing deck with your tractor.
For best results it is recommended
that the first two laps should be cut
with the discharge thrown towards the
center. After the first two laps, reverse
the direction to throw the discharge to
the outside for the balance of cutting.
This will give a better appearance to
the lawn.
Do not cut the grass too short, as the
mower will tend to scalp the grass.
Short grass invites weed growth and
yellows quickly in dry weather.
Mowing should be done with the
engine at full throttle. Do not mow at
high ground speed.
During certain times of the year and
under some conditions, the mower
may leave streaks of uncut grass.
Streaking may occur when attempting
to mow heavy weeds and tall grass.
Under these conditions it may be
necessary to go back over the cut

Seat Adjustment
WARNING:
Do not adjust
the seat when the tractor is
moving. Adjusting the seat
while the tractor is moving
could cause the operator to
lose control of the tractor.
To allow for the comfort of the
operator, an easy to operate adjustable
seat is a feature of this tractor. To
adjust the seat forward or back, slide
the seat adjustment lever to the left
and reposition the seat to the desired
location. Once you have found a
comfortable position, release the seat
adjustment lever. See Figure 12.
area a second time to get a clean cut.
The following practices
eliminate streaking:
• Mow the area more often so the
grass doesn't get too tall and heavy.
• Operate the tractor at full throttle
and slower forward speeds.
• Keep the blades sharp and replace
the blades when worn.
Engaging Differential Lock
Fully depress the diff. lock pedal to
lock the transmission differential and
provide constant power to both rear
wheels when increased traction is
needed. Release the diff. lock pedal
when extra traction is not needed.
NOTE: Because of the load on the
internal engagement
releasing the diff. lock pedal may not
always disengage the differential lock.
It may be necessary to slow the trac-
tor, or reverse the direction of travel, to
disengage the differential lock.
