Pivot Bar Adjustment
CAUTION:
The tractor should be checked every 50
hours of operation for play between the frame
channel and the pivot bar.
Check and adjust the pivot axle as follows:
1.
Raise the front of the tractor and set it on jack stands, so
the front wheels are suspended above the ground.
WARNING!
When jacking up the front end of the
tractor, always chock the rear wheels to prevent the
tractor from rolling, tipping or sliding off the jack
stands.
2.
Move the ends of the pivot bar up and down to check for
binding. If binding is present, loosen the lock nuts until
binding is eliminated. See Fig. 6-14

3.
Grasping the ends of the pivot bar, attempt to move each
end of the axle forward and rearward to check for side play
between the pivot bar and frame channel. If play is present,
gradually tighten the lock nuts until play is minimized.
4.
Repeat steps 2 and 3 until minimum play without binding
is achieved.
5.
Raise the front of the tractor, remove the jack stands, and
lower the tractor to the ground. Remove the blocks from
the rear wheels.
Hydrostatic Neutral Adjustment
If the tractor creeps forward or rearward when neither the
forward nor reverse pedal is depressed, contact your local
Cub Cadet dealer to have the hydrostatic control rods properly
adjusted.
