Steering Adjustment
If the tractor turns tighter in one direction than the other, or if
the ball joints are being replaced due to damage or wear, the
steering drag links may need to be adjusted.
Adjust the drag links so that equal lengths of each are threaded
into the ball joint on the left side and the ball joint on the right
side:
Remove the hex nut below the ball joint. See Fig. 6-7.
Thread the ball joint inward to shorten the drag link. 2.

Parking Brake Adjustment
If the tractor does not come to a complete stop when the brake

adjustment instructions.
Before operating the tractor, make sure
the seat is engaged in the seat-stop. Engage the
parking brake. Stand behind the machine and pull
back on seat until it clicks into place.
