Section 4 - ADJUSTMENT & REPAIR 
 
WARNING 
DO NOT attempt any adjustments, maintenance or 
service with the engine or blades running. STOP 
blades. STOP engine. Set brake. Remove key. 
Remove spark plug wire from spark plug and secure 
wire away from spark plug. Engine and components 
can be extremely hot. Avoid burns by allowing engine 
and components sufficient time to cool.  
 
4.3  TRACTOR DRIVE COMPONENTS 
4.3.1. BRAKE 
ADJUSTMENT 
When adjusted properly, the brake should stop the 
tractor in approximately 6 feet or less from top speed. 
Drive the machine at maximum forward speed and 
apply the brake. If stopping distance is greater than 6 
feet, brake adjustment is required. 
1.  Turn engine “OFF”. Remove key.  
2.  Locate brake adjustment nut underneath the left side 
at the rear of tractor.  See Figure 4.8. 
3.  Turn nut 1 turn clockwise to increase braking 
action. DO NOT over tighten brake adjustment. 
4.  Start engine and test brake. 
5.  Continue adjustment as described above until 
proper brake function is achieved.

3.  Loosen the eccentric mounting nut and rotate the 
eccentric clockwise until steering “Play” is reduced. 
See Figure 4.9. 
4.  Tighten eccentric mounting nut. 
 
4.3.3. SHIFTER 
ADJUSTMENT 
The shift linkage is set at the factory and should not 
require further adjustment. The shifter is adjusted 
properly when the speed control lever can be placed 
at rear edge of the neutral detent and the tractor 
remains absolutely stationary. If motion is detected, 
neutral adjustment will be required. DO NOT operate 
a machine that creeps when shifted to neutral.  
1.  Stop engine. Remove key. 
2.  Move speed control lever to rear edge of neutral 
detent and hold firmly. 
3.  Locate neutral adjustment nut underneath the 
right rear of the tractor. See Figure 4.10
