● This tractor is equipped with a spring applied
mechanical front wheel drive (MFD) clutch and
a front axle limited slip differential. Even with
the MFD engaging switch in the OFF position,
the front axle clutch can propel both front
wheels if any of the following conditions occur:
1. The engine is turned off.
2. The engine is stopped when the rear wheels
are still coasting.
3. Any interruption in the clutch operating
hydraulic system flow or pressure or in the
electrical controls for clutch operation.
For these reasons, the following service
procedures must be followed.
Before rotating the rear wheels of a MFD tractor
(if you are using engine power with the rear
wheels supported off the ground), one of the
following procedures must be done to prevent
an accidental tractor movement.
1. Jack up and support BOTH front wheels
completely off the ground.
OR
2. Disconnect the front wheel drive shaft.
● Escaping fluid (fuel or hydraulic oil) under high
pressure can penetrate the skin and cause
serious injury.
To Prevent Personal Injury:
Relieve all pressure, before disconnecting fluid
lines.Before applying pressure, make sure all
connections are tight and components are in
good condition. Never use your hand to check
for suspected leaks under pressure. Use a
piece of cardboard or wood for this purpose. If
any fluid is injected into the skin, consult a
doctor immediately as other-wise serious
infections may result.
