Emergency Towing
If it should be necessary to tow the tractor to a location for maintenance service, be
sure the following procedures are followed:
• Make sure the parking brake is released and the transmission gearshift lever is in
the "N" (Neutral) position.
• "ALL WHEEL DRIVE" tractors must have the drive shafts removed before towing.
Plug the drive shaft openings to minimize loss of fluid.
• "REAR DRIVE ONLY" tractors, the rear wheels can be raised and it can be towed
on its front wheels. If it is to be flat towed, the drive shaft must be removed.
• "ANY TRACTOR" towed on its front wheels must have the steering wheel clamped
in the straight ahead position.
Caution: Replace lost transmission fluid after reinstalling the
drive shafts that were removed for towing.
Warning: Before working underneath the tractor, be sure jack
stands are secure and positioned correctly (perpendicular to the
floor) with no tilt.
Warning: If you will be working under the tractor, never do so
when alone. Be sure someone else is close by in case of an
emergency.
Warning: If using a hydraulic or air operated lift, always check the
safety support or lock is in position before going underneath the
tractor.
