CVT Drive and brake system

Gear selector
• The forward-neutral-reverse gear selector is on
the left rear fender of the tractor.
• A bracket and spring under the fender keep
inward pressure on the selector to give it positive
feel. See Figure 6.12.
• The selector pivots on a frame-mounted bracket,
transferring the motion to a push-pull rod con-
nected to the transaxle. See Figure 6.13.
• The linkage contacts the reverse safety switch
tang when the tractor is in reverse.
• The linkage is adjustable.
1. To adjust the linkage, put the gear selector in
neutral position.
2. Confirm that the tractor is in neutral by releasing
the brakes and rolling it back and forth.
3. Loosen the adjustment bolt using a 1/2” wrench.
See Figure 6.14.
4. Check that the gear selector handle is fully
seated in the N notch on the fender.
See Figure 6.15.
5. Tighten the adjustment bolt and re-check the
position of the gear selector.
