MTD 760-770 Manual Do Utilizador

If the seat for your tractor was not attached at the factory, follow 
the applicable instructions below to attach it.
NOTE: For shipping reasons, some seats are not attached at 
the factory. If this is the case, free the seat from its shipping 
position and remove the hex screw (or knob screw if applicable) 
from the bottom of seat before proceeding with the following 
instructions.
1. 

Position the seat facing forward over the seat pivot bracket, 
with the two forward seat mount tabs fitting into the 
provided grooves in the seat pivot bracket.

2. 

Slide the seat rearward and align the center mounting 
hole in the seat with the slot in the seat pan. Insert the hex 
screw (or knob screw if applicable) previously removed. Do 
not tighten at this point.

3. 

Adjust the seat to the optimal operator preferred location, 
this may mean actually sitting in the seat to decide what 
feels best to the operator. Keep in mind the operator needs 
to be able to fully operate all pedals comfortably while 
sitting back in the seat.

4. 

Tighten the hex screw (or knob screw if applicable) at this time.

5. 

To adjust the position of the seat, loosen the hex screw (or 
knob screw if applicable) on the bottom of the seat. Slide 
the seat forward or backward as desired. Retighten the hex 
screw (or knob screw if applicable). See Fig. 3-5.

On tractor models so equipped, a mulch plug can be found 
within the cutting deck’s discharge opening.
NOTE: Refer to Mulching in the “Operation” section of this 
manual for more detailed information.
If you’d prefer to operate the cutting deck without mulching, 
simply remove the mulch plug. On 38” Decks, unthread the 
plastic wing nut which fastens it to the cutting deck, as show 
in Fig. 3-6. This will allow the clippings to discharge out of the 
discharge opening during operation.

The mowing deck is capable of 

throwing objects. Failure to operate the riding 
mower without the discharge cover in the proper 
operating position could result in serious personal 
injury and/or property damage.

If the steering wheel for your tractor did not come attached, the 
hardware for attaching it has been packed within the steering 
wheel, beneath the steering wheel cap. Carefully pry off the 
steering wheel cap and remove the hardware.
1. 

With the wheels of the tractor pointing straight forward, 
place the steering wheel over the steering shaft.

2. 

Place the washer (with the cupped side down) over the 
steering wheel and secure with the hex bolt. See Fig. 3-3. 

3. 

Place the steering wheel cap over the center of the steering 
wheel and push downward until it “clicks” into place.

If the tractor’s dash collar did not come attached from the 
factory, the screws for attaching it can be found in either side of 
the dash console. Remove the two screws from the console and 
secure the dash collar as illustrated in Fig 3-4.
