the rod in the upper linkage until the

Tracking: 

In a large open area, actuate the control 

handles into the full forward position. If the 

mower veers in either direction Left for 

Right some adjustment is necessary. a. If 

the mower veers to the right, then the 

right hydrostat needs to be sped up. If the 

mower veers to the left, then the left 

hydrostat need to be sped up. b. Stop the 

machine and shut off the engine.

 

c. Slightly loosen the bolt at the lower end

several test drives to get the mower to 

track straight forward. d. Once the 

tracking is to the operators liking, 

completely tighten the bolt on the control 

linkage assembly that was loosened 

earlier.

has not been effected, see procedure A.
