ditions. Clean every few hours under extremely dusty
conditions. To service the air cleaner, refer to the sep¬
arate engine manual packed with your unit.
The spark plug(s) should be cleaned and the gap
reset once a season. Spark plug replacement is rec¬
ommended at the start of each mowing season; check
engine manual for correct plug type and gap specifi¬
cations.
Maintain engine oil as instructed In the separate
engine manual packed with your unit. Read and follow
instructions carefully.
Model LT-165 Only: Your engine is provided with a
drain hose for your convenience in draining oil from
the crankcase. A clamp secures the drain hose to the
side of the engine. See figure 17. To drain the oil,
remove the hose from the clamp, and remove the
drain plug from the end of the hose. Be certain to
replace the drain plug and to use the clamp to secure
hose to the engine before operating.

FUEL FILTER
Your unit is equipped with a replaceable in-line fuel
filter. Replace filter whenever contamination or discol¬
oration is noticed. Order replacement filter through
your authorized engine service dealer.
CLEANING ENGINE AND DECK
Any fuel or oil spilled on the machine should be wiped
off promptly. Grass, leaves, and other dirt must not be
left to accumulate around the cooling fins of the
engine or on any part of the machine.
Clean the underside of the deck after each mowing.
WHEEL ADJUSTMENT
The caster (forward slant of the king pin) and the
camber (tilt of the wheels out at the top) require no
adjustment. Automotive steering principles have been
used to determine the caster and camber on the trac¬
tor. The front wheels should toe-in 1/8 inch.
To adjust the toe-in, follow these steps.
1. Remove the hex nut and lock washer, and drop
the end of the tie rod from the axle bracket. See
figure 18.
2. Loosen the hex jam nut on tie rod.
3. Adjust the tie rod assembly for correct toe-in.
Dimension "B" should be approximately 1/8" less than
Dimension "A." See figure 19. To increase Dimension
"B," screw tie rod into tie rod end. To decrease
Dimension "B," unscrew tie rod from tie rod end.
Reassemble tie rod. Check dimensions. Readjust if
necessary.
