LOSS OF POWER IN THE
DRIVE
SYSTEM
Check the fl uid level and make sure the proper
amount of fl uid is in the reservoir. The cooling
fi ns and fan blades should be clean and free
of foreign matter.
NO POSITIVE NEUTRAL POSITION
If drive wheels travel forward or backward
when the steering lever is in swing-out posi-
tion (neutral), adjustment is required.
NEUTRAL ADJUSTMENT
(Refer to Fig. 6 and illustration page on 37)
1. Block up under tractor frame so both drive
wheels are off the ground.
2. Make sure parking brake is released.
3. Remove linkage rod (item 28 or 29) from
transmission control arm (item 16 or 17).
4. Place steering levers in the neutral swing-
out position and start engine.
5. If either of the drive wheels turn, proceed
with the following adjustment.
6. Locate the return mount (item 37) with
the adjustment plate (item 71) bolted to it.
The right plate adjusts the right side while
the left plate adjusts the left side. Loosen
the .312-24 x .5 bolt (item 66) located in
the upper front corner of plate. Insert a
screwdriver into the triangle shaped slot
and rotate adjustment plate until neutral is
achieved. Tighten bolt.
7. Repeat procedure on other side of trans-
mission.
8. Reinstall linkage rod in control arm. If rod
end (item 26) does not reinstall into con-
trol arm without moving the control arm,
adjust length of linkage rod until it slides
into control arm to assure neutral adjust-
ment will be maintained when linkage is
connected.
9. Test drive machine for straight line travel
with both levers full forward. If travel is not
in a straight line, adjust the steering lever
stop on the side that is the fastest i.e.: if
machine goes to the left, adjust the right
steering stop to slow down the right trans-
mission until travel is straight ahead.
FUEL SOLENOID ADJUSTMENT
Adjust cable between fuel shut-off solenoid
and engine fuel stop valve to provide full
engagement of the solenoid. The solenoid
should bottom out (be fully engaged) before
fuel stop valve fully engages stop (approx.
.0625" to .125" [1.6 to 3.2 mm] gap).
The solenoid is designed to hold the engine
fuel stop valve open during operation. When
the key is turned on, the solenoid energizes
and opens the fuel valve. When the key is
turned off, the solenoid releases and allows
the fuel stop valve to close.
