LAPBAR DRIVE CONTROL LEVER STOP ADJUSTMENT
When the lapbar drive control levers are both fully extended 
forward to the full-speed position and the tractor drifts left 
or right, the lapbar drive control lever stop adjustment can be 
adjusted to sync the wheel speeds. To perform the adjustment, 
proceed as follows:
1.  Identify the side that the tractor is drifting to and adjust the 
opposite lapbar drive control lever. If the tractor drifts right, 
adjust the left lapbar drive control lever down (decrease 
speed) and vice versa.
2.  Locate the lapbar drive control lever stop adjustment bolts (a) 
on the front of the seat frame (Figure 37).

NOTE: The multi-tool (if equipped) can be used to make this 
adjustment.
3.  To decrease the forward speed, turn the lapbar drive control 
lever stop adjustment bolts (a)clockwise. To increase the 
forward speed, turn the lapbar drive control lever stop 
adjustment bolts (a) counter-clockwise. Turn the lapbar 
drive control lever stop adjustment bolts (a) in the necessary 
direction 1⁄4-turn at a time. After turning the lapbar drive 
control lever stop adjustment bolts (a), check the adjustment 
by driving the tractor.
4.  Continue the adjustment until the wheel speeds are in sync 
and the tractor drives straight with the drive control levers 
fully extended forward in the full-speed position.
NOTE:  Make sure the bolts extend through the nuts on the frame 
to engage the locking feature.
