STEERING ADJUSTMENT
If steering system feels loose, ensure hardware is tight
and check wear points for excessive wear. Replace parts
as needed.
If tractor wanders or excessive tire wear develops, toe-in
should be checked. Front of wheels should be 1/16 in. to
1/8 in. (2 to 3 mm) closer together than rear of wheels. To
correct toe-in:
1. Loosen jam nuts at tie rod ends.
2. Turn tie rod clockwise to increase distance between
front of wheels. Turn tie rod counterclockwise to
decrease distance between front of wheels.
3. Tighten jam nuts at tie rod ends.
PARKING BRAKE SPRING
Compress the spring to the length indicated with the
brake on (Park Brake Set). Turn the locknut to adjust
(figure 14).
DISC BRAKE ADJUSTMENT
To check and change disc brake setting (figure 15):
1. Place feeler gauge between the two discs. With
clutch/brake pedal released there should be
0.015 in. to 0.025 in. (0.4 mm to 0.6 mm) clearance.
2. Tighten castellated nut to decrease clearance,
loosen to increase clearance.
3. Adjust brake spring. Turn nylon locknut until brake
spring is compressed to 7/8 in. (22 mm) when brake
pedal is depressed.
NEUTRAL ADJUSTMENT (936036)
Adjust neutral if tractor moves when forward or reverse
pedal is not depressed. To adjust neutral (figure 16):
1. Prop right rear wheel off the ground.
2. Spin right rear wheel. Turn neutral adjustment bolt
until rear wheel no longer spins.
