the opposite side (charging) when the engine is

pletely charged. With a fully charged battery or with
the engine idling, the ammeter will not show a charge.

HYDROSTATIC CONTROL LEVER
The hydrostatic control lever is located on top of the
fender on the right side of the tractor. This single con-
trol lever, connected to the hydrostatic transmission,
controls both the speed and direction of the tractor.
Infinite speed control is achieved by moving the con-
trol lever forward or backward. The farther forward or
backward you move the control lever, the faster you
will travel. Pulling the control lever into neutral (N)
area will stop the tractor. See figure 8.
