SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS

TO CHECK BRAKE

If tractor requires more than five (5) feet to stop at highest

speed in high est gear on a level, dry concrete or paved

surface, then brake must be serviced.
You may also check brake by:
1. Park tractor on a level, dry concrete or paved surface,

depress brake pedal all the way down and engage

parking brake.

2. Disengage transmission by placing freewheel control

in “transmission disengaged” position. Pull freewheel

control out and into the slot and release so it is held in

the disengaged position.

The rear wheels must lock and skid when you try to manu-

ally push the tractor forward. If the rear wheels rotate,

then the brake needs to be serviced. Contact a qualified

service center.

TO REMOVE WHEEL (See Fig. 32)

• Block up axle securely.
•

Remove axle cover, retaining ring and washers to allow

wheel removal (rear wheel contains a square key - Do

not lose).

• Repair tire and reassemble.
• On rear wheels only: align grooves in rear wheel hub

and axle. Insert square key.

• Replace washers and snap retaining ring securely in

axle groove.

• Replace axle cover.
NOTE: To seal tire punctures and prevent flat tires due

to slow leaks, tire sealant may be purchased from your

local parts dealer. Tire sealant also prevents tire dry rot

and corrosion.

START OTHER VEHICLES.

TO ATTACH JUMPER CABLES -

• Connect one end of the RED cable to the POSITIVE

(+) terminal of each battery(A-B), taking care not to

short against tractor chassis.

• Connect one end of the BLACK ca ble to the NEGA TIVE

(-) terminal (C) of fully charged battery.

• Connect the other end of the BLACK cable (D) to good

chassis ground, away from fuel tank and bat tery.

TO REMOVE CABLES, REVERSE ORDER -

• BLACK cable first from chassis and then from the fully

charged battery.

• RED cable last from both batteries.
