See Figure 7. Perform the following adjustment if the
shift lever does not return to the neutral gate from a for-
ward gear position when the clutch/brake pedal is fully
depressed.
1. Make sure the Neutral Adjustment is correct (refer to
preceding page).
2. Loosen the nut (A, Figure 7) that secures the rear shift
rod (B) to the return-to-neutral cam (C).
3. Hold the clutch/brake pedal fully down against the
right footrest. (Pedal can be clamped in this position
with large C-clamp if required.) Do not apply parking
brake to hold pedal, as pedal will not be held fully
against footrest without free play.
4. See Figure 8. Position shift lever just below neutral
gate - shift lever shaft should be centered on corner at
start of reverse slot.
5. Rotate the return-to-neutral cam (C) securely against
the front clutch rod (D). There should be no gap
between the clutch rod and cam.at the contact point.
6. Tighten nut (A) with pedal still held down against
footrest.
7. Remove clamp from pedal. Start tractor and check
return-to-neutral operation. With pedal released, a
small amount of travel in the shift lever may be
required to fully stop tractor.
