Drive System
Maintenance
Adjusting the Transmission
for Neutral
If the machine creeps when the traction control pedal is in
the neutral position, the neutral return mechanism must be
adjusted.
1. Block up under the frame so that one of the front
wheels is off of the floor.
Note: If machine is equipped with a 3 wheel drive kit,
the rear wheel must be raised off the floor and blocked.
2. Start the engine, move the throttle to Slow, and check
the front wheel that is off of the floor; it must not be
rotating.
3. If the wheel is rotating, stop the engine and proceed
as follows:
A. Loosen both jam nuts securing the traction
control cable to the bulkhead on the hydrostat
(Figure 52). Make sure the jam nuts are loosened
equally and sufficiently to allow adjustment.

3. Jam nuts
Note: Loosen the nut securing the eccentric to
the top of the hydrostat (Figure 52).
B. Move the functional control lever to Neutral and
the throttle to Slow. Start the engine.
C. Rotate the eccentric until creep does not occur in
either direction. When the wheel stops rotating,
tighten the nut locking the eccentric and the
adjustment (Figure 52). Verify the adjustment
with the throttle in the Slow and Fast position.

D. From each side of the bulkhead, tighten the
locknuts evenly, securing the traction cable to the
bulkhead (Figure 52)Do not twist the cable.
Note: If cable tension exists when the functional
control lever is in neutral, the machine may creep
when the lever is moved to the Mow or Transport
position.

Adjusting the Transport Speed

Obtaining Maximum Transport Speed
The traction pedal is adjusted for maximum transport speed
at the factory, but an adjustment may be required if the pedal
reaches full stroke before it contacts the pedal stop, or if a
decrease in transport speed is desired.
To obtain maximum transport speed, put the functional
control lever in the transport position and press down on
the traction pedal. If the pedal contacts the stop (Figure 53)
before tension is felt on the cable, an adjustment is required:
1. Put the functional control lever in the transport
position and loosen the locknut securing the pedal stop
to the floor plate (Figure 53).
2. Tighten the pedal stop until it does not contact the
traction pedal.
3. Continue applying a light load on the transport pedal
and adjust the pedal stop so it contacts the pedal rod
and tighten the nuts.
Important: The tension on the cable must not be
excessive or cable life will be reduced.
1. Pedal stop
Reducing Transport Speed
1. Press down on the traction pedal and loosen the
locknut securing the pedal stop to the floor plate.
2. Loosen the pedal stop until the desired transport speed
is obtained.
