brake pedal shaft as the pedal shaft
assembly is being lifted into the tractor:

the brake pedal is pressed.
• The brake rod.
• The rods fit into the holes in the brake shaft
much more easily before the pedal shaft is fully
in position.
17c. Position the drive control shaft and bush-
ings, fasten the drive control rod to it, then
drive the push cap on. See Figure 6.32.

ley control rod

Linkage: pedal tie strap

NOTE: If there is reason to remove the pedal tie
strap, it can be taken-off without further disas-
sembly of the pedal shaft. The most likely rea-
son for this would be the discovery of damage to
the plate or hex bushing while making an adjust-
ment to the tensioner pulley control rod.
1. Remove the mowing deck.
2. Remove and discard the cotter pin that holds the
tensioner pulley control rod and the tie plate to
the "cobra-head" arm on the drive control pedal
shaft. See Figure 6.33.
