Tractor Preparation

Manually Moving the Tractor
1. Engage the transmission bypass rod to move the tractor
manually without starting it. The transmission bypass rod is
located on the rear of the tractor, on the frame. Engage the
bypass rod by pulling out. See Figure 3-1.
Figure 3-1
NOTE: If the tractor will not move or does not move freely
when pushing check if the bypass lever is fully open or the
brake is engaged.
NOTE: The transmission will NOT engage when the
hydrostatic bypass rod is pulled out. Return the rod to its
normal position prior to operating the tractor. If the tractor
will not move when pushing on the forward/reverse pedals,
or moves slowly, check to see of the bypass valve is on.
CAUTION:
Never tow your tractor. Towing the
tractor with the rear wheels on the ground may
cause severe damage to the transmission.
2. Disengage the bypass rod by pushing the rod back in after
moving the tractor. See Figure 3-1.

Remove any packing material.
NOTE: Be careful not to cut the wiring harness connecting
the seat and the seat switch.
2. Remove the two shoulder screws and flange lock nuts in
the seat pan as shown in Figure 3-2.
NOTE: Be sure that the nylon flange bearings (if equipped)
remain in place on the seat bracket mounting holes. If
