THROTTLE CONTROL LEVER
The throttle control lever is located on the right side of
the tractor's dash panel. This lever controls the speed
of the engine and, on some models, when pushed all
the way forward, the choke control also. When set in a
given position, the throttle will maintain a uniform
engine speed. See Figure 8.

DRIVE PEDAL
The drive pedal is located below
the brake pedal on the right
front side of the tractor along
the running board. Depress the
upper portion of the drive pedal
forward to cause the tractor to

Ground speed is also controlled
with the drive pedal. The further

the tractor will travel. The pedal will return to its original
position when it's not depressed.
IMPORTANT:
Always set the parking brake when
leaving the tractor unattended.
