Seat Adjustment
WARNING:
Before operating this machine,
make sure the seat is engaged in the seat stop,
stand behind the machine and pull back on
seat until fully engaged into stop.
•
Move the seat adjustment lever to the left and slide
the seat forward or rearward. Make sure seat is
locked into position before operating the tractor.
Parking Brake Adjustment
WARNING:
Never attempt to adjust the
brakes while the engine is running. Always
disengage PTO, move shift lever into neutral
position, stop engine and remove key to
prevent unintended starting.
Adjust the brake if (i) the tractor does not come to a
complete stop when the brake pedal is completely
depressed, or (ii) the tractor's rear wheels roll even with
the parking brake applied. Locate the brake disc on the
right side of the transmission in the rear of the tractor.
Adjust as follows:
•
From the right side of the tractor, locate the brake
rod and brake disc. See Figure 8 inset.
NOTE:

•
Carefully remove the cotter pin from the crown nut
on the right side of the brake assembly.
•
Using a feeler gauge, check the gap between the
brake disc and the brake puck. Proper gap is .011".
•
Tighten crown nut until the proper gap is achieved.
•
Insert a replacement cotter pin (part number 714-
0111) into the crown nut.
Steering Adjustment
If the tractor turns tighter in one direction than the other,
or if the ball joints are being replaced due to damage or
wear, the steering drag links may need to be adjusted.
Adjust the drag links so that equal lengths are threaded
into the ball joints on the left and the right:
•
Loosen the jam nut found on the drag link at the
rear of the ball joint. See Figure 9 .
•
Remove the hex nut and lock washer on the top of
ball joint. See Figure 9 .
•
Thread the ball joint toward the jam nut to shorten
the drag link. Thread the ball joint away from the
jam nut to lengthen the drag link.
•
Replace hex nut and lock washer and retighten the
jam nut after proper adjustment is achieved.

NOTE: Threading the ball joints too far onto the drag
links will cause the front tires to "toe-in" too far. Proper
toe-in is between 1/16" and 5/16".
Front tire toe-in can be measured as follows:
•
Place the steering wheel in position for straight
ahead travel.
•
In front of the axle, measure the distance
horizontally from the inside of the left rim to the
inside of the right rim. Note the distance.
•
Behind the axle, measure the distance horizontally
from the inside of the left rim to the inside of the
right rim. Note the distance.
•
The measurement taken in front of the axle should
be between 1/16" and 5/16" less than the
measurement taken behind the axle.
•
Adjust if necessary.
