Moving tractor with stalled engine

Should it become necessary to transport the tractor
because the engine stalls and cannot be restarted:
1. The hydraulic pump is equipped with tow valves.
Before towing the tractor, turn the tow valves
counterclockwise four complete revolutions, using a
5/16" allen wrench. This allows the hydraulic oil to
flow freely in the system. The valves are located per
Fig. 3-7.
2. Move the tractor by hand or use a winch to pull it onto
a transport vehicle.
3. If towing is necessary, tractor may be towed for
distances up to 1/2 mile at speeds not greater than 3
mph at a time. Exceeding these limits at one time will
overheat the hydraulic system and may damage the

4. After towing, make certain the two valves are returned
to their operating position. Turn them clockwise and
torque to 40-50 foot pounds.

Driving the tractor

Only one hand is required to control speed and
direction of the tractor, in most conditions (Fig. 3-8).
DANGER: Never make sudden stops or reverse
direction, especially when going down a slope.
The steering is designed for sensitive response.
Rapid movement of the steering lever in either
direction could result in a reaction of the tractor
that can cause serious injury.
