ADJUSTING THE POWER TAKE-OFF CLUTCH
WARNING
To avoid possible injury, always disengage all
clutches, move speed control or gear shift
lever into neutral, depress the brake, set the
brake pedal lock and turn the ignition "OFF"
before working on the machine.
The clutch is factory-adjusted and should not require
further adjustment under normal operating conditions.
However, if the clutch fails to operate properly, check
as follows:
Check fuse on pedestal.
Using a feeler gauge, check the air gap. (See Figure
22.) Insert feeler gauge into one of three access slots
located around the outside of the brake plate. The air
gap should be .017 inch. Adjust the self-locking nuts
to obtain the proper clearance. Repeat the operation
in all three access slots.
DRIVE BELT REPLACEMENT
The drive belt is set at the factory and requires no
adjustment. When the belt has worn or stretched to a
point where slippage occurs in fonward or reverse, a
new belt should be installed. Refer to figure 23.

CAUTION
Always disconnect the high tension wires to
the spark plugs before making any adjust¬
ments to your tractor.
