SECTION 3: ADJUSTMENTS
ADJUSTING THE SEAT
For the comfort of the operator, a single lever
adjustable seat is provided to set the fore to aft
position of the seat. Adjust the seat to the most
comfortable position that allows you to operate all
controls and pedals.
WARNING: Do not adjust the seat when
the tractor is moving, as this could cause
the operator to lose momentary control
of the tractor and result in an accident.
To adjust the seat, pivot the seat adjustment
lever to the left and hold while repositioning the
seat to the desired position. See Figure 38.
Figure 38  
After repositioning the seat, release the lever to
lock the seat in position. Slide the seat either
slightly forward or rearward to assure it is locked
or until engagement of the lock is felt.
ADJUSTING FRONT WHEEL TOE-IN
The front wheel toe-in is set at the factory and should
maintain the proper setting. However, the toe-in
should be checked periodically and readjusted if
necessary. 
CHECK THE TOE-IN AS FOLLOWS:
Place the tractor on a level surface with the
wheels in the straight ahead position.
Place an easily visible mark at the front and rear
center lines of both front tires, preferably at the
horizontal center line of the wheel.
Measure and record the distance ‘A’ between the
two front marks. Then measure and record the
distance ‘B’ between the two rear marks. See
Figure 39.
Figure 39  
Distance ‘A’ should be .08"  to .31" less than
distance ‘B’ if the toe-in is correct. If it is not,
adjust the toe-in.
READJUST THE TOE-IN AS FOLLOWS:
Loosen the jam nuts at both ends of the tie rod.
Refer to Figure 39.
Turn the tie rod in either direction to adjust its
length.
- Shorten the tie rod to increase distance ‘A’ and 
decrease the toe-in.
- Lengthen the tie rod to decrease distance ‘A’ 
and increase the toe-in.
Adjust the tie rod as necessary to obtain the
correct toe-in, then tighten the jam nuts.
ADJUSTING FRONT AXLE
Looseness or play in the front axle may cause serious
trembling of the front wheels and vibration of the
steering wheel. Check and adjust the front axle as
follows:
Raise and support the front of the tractor so that
the front wheels are just off the ground.
Check the front axle for any front to back play.
If play is felt, loosen the jam nut on the adjusting
bolt in the center of the front axle support. See
Figure 40.
