STARTER GENERATOR BELT
1. Remove 3 screws (A) holding belt guard to engine.
2. Loosen bolt (B) in generator adjusting strap and
generator, move starter generator back to tighten
belt and tighten bolt (B) securely. Belt should be
tight enough to prevent belt slippage when starting
tractor.

easier to check with guard removed.

WHEEL WEIGHTS:
HEX RECESS
Rear wheel weights (optional equipment} are very
essential for added traction. This is especially true
for attachments such as the plow, disc harrow,
leveler blade, rotary snowplow, bulldozer, etc. One
or two wheel weights can be mounted to each re ar
wheel. Except in the case ot the plow (refer to plow
attachment manual), wheel weights should be used in
pairs, one on each side. Operation with weight on one
side only wil l cause uneven tire wear, may cause the
tractor to tip and can result in improper operation of
certain attachments .
