DRIVING THE TRACTOR
3. 
Move  the  speed  control  lever  to  start  forward
motion.  NOTE:  In  rotary  tilling  application,  the
tractor  is used  to  hold  the  rotary  tiller  back  rather
than  to  pull  the  unit  as in  plowing  or  mowing.
INTERNATIONAL  CUB  CADET  1250,  1450,
AND  1650  TRACTORS  -Continued
NOTE:  Do  not  rest your  foot  on the  brake  pedal
while  driving  the  tractor  as this  would  cause the
speed control  lever to  return  to  the  "N"  position.
4. 
Move the  speed control  lever back  to  a position
to  maintain  proper  mulching  of the  soil.
SPEED CONTROL  LEVER
5.  With  a hydrostatic  drive,  it  may be necessary to
vary  the  speed control  lever as the  soil  conditionsvary. 
With  a  gear  driven  tractor,  under  similar
conditions  it  may  be  necessary to  declutch  or  to
use the brake.
This  lever  is  used  to  select  any  speed  from  a
standstill  "N"  position  to  eight  miles  per hour  in
the  forward  direction  and to  four  miles per hour  in
the  reverse direction.
RELEASE  LEVER
Moving  the  speed  control  lever  forward  provides
increased  forward  speed,  and  moving  the  lever
rearward  provides  the reverse speeds.
Some tractors  are equipped  with  a release lever on
the  right  side  of  the  frame  near the  cam  stop.  To
push  or  move the  tractor  for  a short  distance,  the
release lever  (if  so  equipped)  must be held  in  the
(UP)  position  and  the  speed  control  lever  (on  all
models)  must be in the  "N"  position.
SPEED CONTROL  LEVER  STOP
An  adjustable  speed control  lever  stop  is provided
to  allow  the  operator  to  return  to  a predetermined
speed.
NOTE:  Never  operate  engine  with  release  lever  in
(UP)  position.  Towing  or  pushing  the  tractor  for
more  than  a  few  feet  may  result  in  transmissiondamage.
Do  not  bypass  the  speed  control  lever  stop  to
obtain  a  higher  tractor  speed.  If  a higher  speed is
desired, reset the stop.
STARTING  THE  TRACTOR
1.  Depress the  brake  pedal,  release the  brake  lock,
and  let the  brake  pedal up.  Move the throttle  lever
to  the  position  where  the  engine  operates  best for
the  load to  be handled.
2. 
Start  the  tractor  in  motion  by moving  the speed
control  lever  slowly  forward  or  rearward  as
described above.
STOPPING  THE  TRACTOR
1. Speed control lever stop
2. Speed control lever
Move  the  speed  control  lever to  the  "N"  position
or  use the  brake.  Before  dismounting  always  lock
the  brake pedal and turn  the  ignition  "OFF".  Also,
disengage the  power  take-off  clutch  lever.
NOTE:  On  tractors  with  a  rotary  tiller  the
following  instructions  are required.
CAUTION!  To  prevent  injury  or  an
accident,  do  not  carry  passengers or give
rides.  Keep  children,  pets,  and  by-
standers out  of the area.
1.  Engage the  Power  Take-Off  clutch,  and  move
the throttle  to  "Fast".
2.  Lower  the  rotary  tiller  to  the  desired  cutting
depth.
