Return-to-Neutral Adjustment - Hydro
See figure 4-4. Perform the following adjustment if the shift
lever does not return to the neutral gate from a forward 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) 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 4-5. 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 the
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.
