Foot Control Adjustment

If there is not enough ground speed in reverse and too
much in forward, check the adjustment of the foot
control.
1. Measure the distance between the footrest and
the back of the forward/reverse control pedal.
There should be 1¼" (31.75mm) to 1-3/8"
(34.925mm) gap (Figure 147).

2. If adjustment is needed, unbolt the hydro control
rod where it connects to the hydro forward/reverse
pedal. The location is under the tractor on the
inside of the frame (Figure 148).

achieve 1¼" (31.75mm) to 1-3/8" (34.925mm) gap
between the footrest and the back side of the
forward/reverse control pedal (Figure 149).
4. Another way of adjusting the forward/reverse
control rod is with the seat, fender, and gas tank
removed. Located on the hydro control rod are
two stop nuts and a turnbuckle. Loosen the stop
nuts and turn the turnbuckle to achieve 1¼"
