Steering
• If the tractor turns tighter in one direction than the
other, or if the ball joints are being replaced due to
damage or wear, the steering drag links may need to
be adjusted. Adjust the drag links so that equal
lengths are threaded into the ball joints on both sides.
1. Loosen the jam nut on the drag link at the rear of the
ball joint. See Figure 8.
2. Remove the hex nut and lock washer on top of the
ball joint. See Figure 8.
3. Thread the ball joint toward the jam nut to shorten the
drag link.
4. Thread the ball joint away from the jam nut to
lengthen the drag link.
5. Replace hex nut and lock washer and retighten the
jam nut after proper adjustment is achieved.
NOTE: Threading the ball joints too far on to the drag
links will cause the front tires to "toe-in" too far. Proper
toe-in is between 1/16" and 5/16".
WARNING: Never attempt to make any adjustments while the engine is running, except where specified
in the operator’s manual.Disconnect spark plug wire(s) and ground against the engine before performing
any adjustments, repairs or maintenance.
WARNING: Before operating this machine,
make sure the seat is engaged in the seat stop,
stand behind the machine and pull back on seat
until fully engaged into stop.
