ENGINE PULLEY BELT STOPS
Adjust the two belt stops (A, figure 25) so there is 1/8"
between belt stops and belt.
NEUTRAL ADJUSTMENT
If the tractor creeps forward or back with transmission in
neutral notch, adjust as follows.
1. Seat yourself in the operator's seat and start the engine.
2. Move the lever to position where tractor remains
stationary. This is neutral position.
3. Stop the engine.
4. Disconnect the battery cables to avoid causing short
circuit or sparks with tools.
5. Raise the seat deck. The control lever quadant (A, figure
32) is mounted with slotted holes so it can be adjusted.
Loosen the two self-tapping screws (C) and move the
quadrant so the lever is centered in the quadrant gate.
Then tighten the two screws.
6. Connect the battery cables.
7. Lower the seat deck. Start the engine to check again. If
the tractor still creeps in neutral, proceed to step 8.
8. Return the quandrant to the center position, if moved.
Loosen the front nut (A, figure 33) and rear nut (B) on the
hydro shift rod (C). The rear nut is a left-hand thread.
