Neutral Adjustment

The neutral system for this mower consists of two neutral linkage
rods and a pivot that connect the ground speed control lever to
the transmission. The lower rod that connects the transmission
to the pivot is factory preset and should not be changed for
neutral adjustment purposes. The adjustment is achieved by
changing the length of the upper rod (A, Figure 39) that connects
the ground speed control lever to the pivot.

Determining if Adjustment is Necessary: If the tractor
"creeps" while the ground speed control levers are locked in
the NEUTRAL position, then it is necessary to adjust the neutral
linkage rods.
Note: Perform this adjustment on a hard, level surface such as
a concrete floor.
1. Disengage the PTO, engage the parking brake and turn off
the engine.
2. There are two nuts (B) on the linkage rod (A). Loosen the
nuts from the ball joints and turn the linkage rod to adjust.
• If the machine creeps forward, turn the rod clockwise
(while standing at the rear of the machine facing
forward);
• If the machine creeps backwards, turn the rod
counter-clockwise (while standing at the rear of the
machine facing forward).
3. Lock the nuts against the ball joints when neutral is
achieved.
Note: The adjustment should not be performed while the
machine is running. It may take several attempts to achieve
neutral, depending on how much the machine creeps.

Return-to-Neutral Adjustment

Prior to performing this procedure the Neutral Adjustment
Procedure must be completed.
