NEUTRAL ADJUSTMENT
If the tractor creeps forward or back when the hydrostatic
control lever Is in neutral, adjust as follows:
CAUTION
Always stop engine before leaving operator's position.
Do not perform adjustment with engine running.
1. Park tractor on level ground, make sure hydrostatic
control lever is firmly seated in the neutral notch of
quadrant, stop engine and set parking brake.
2. Raise the seat deck and check if the pump control arm
roller (E, figure 26) is exactly centered with the centering
mark (D), If not, loosen bolt (C) and move the control
cam (B) until centering mark (D) is centered on roller
(E). Tighten the bolt (C).
3. Lower the seat deck, get in operator's seat, start engine
and release parking brake. If tractor still creeps with
hydrostatic control lever in neutral, note which direction
it creeps and proceed with next steps.
4. Stop the engine, set parking brake, and raise seat deck.
Loosen the jam nut (H) on end of cam pivot shaft (G). If
tractor creep had been in reverse, turn adjusting nut (I)
1/8 to 1/4 turn clockwise when viewed from right side of
tractor. If tractor creep had been forward, turn nut 1/8to
1/4 turn counterclockwise. Lock jam nut, lower seat
deck, get in operator's seat, start engine, and release
parking brake. If tractor still creeps, repeat step "4",
turning nut (I) a little at a time until no creep occurs.
