Auto-Drive CVT Drive System
Description: The clutch/brake pedal and the drive control
pedal operate on two concentric shafts. See Figure 5.19.
• The clutch/brake shaft runs the full width of the
tractor.
• The drive control shaft is tubular, is installed over,
and pivots on the clutch/brake shaft.
• Each shaft has stops that limit movement of their
respective pedals.
• When depressed, the clutch/park brake lever
applies the brake and locks the double idler belt
control assembly so that it cannot engage the drive
belt. See Figure 5.20.
• The parking brake is set by depressing the brake
pedal and then pressing down on the parking
brake lever on the left side of the dash.
• When released the pedal disengages the brake
and allows the double idler pulley to be operated
by the speed control foot pedal. See Figure 5.21.
