Brake Spring
Adjustment
1. Disengage the PTO, stop the engine, block the
wheels, remove the ignition key, and engage the
parking brake.
2. Remove the mower deck (see Mower Deck Removal).
3. Locate the brake spring (A, Figure 36) and adjust-
ment nut (B).
4. With the parking brake engaged, measure the com-
pressed spring length. The spring should be 5-3/8” to
5-3/4” when compressed.
If the spring is not within this range, turn the adjust-
ment nut (B, Figure 36) to compress or release the
spring.
If this adjustment does not correct a braking problem,
and the brake linkage is not at fault; the internal brak-
ing mechanism inside the transmission will require
service.
Foot Pedal Height
Adjustment
(Forward Speed Adjustment)
1. Disengage the PTO, stop the engine, block the
wheels, and remove the ignition key. DO NOT
engage the parking brake.
2. Measure the distance between the bottom of the
ground speed control pedal and the foot rest. There
should be 2-1/2” clearance (Figure 37). If not, pro-
ceed to step 3.
NOTE: If desired, the right rear wheel can be removed for
easier access to the transmission.
3. Loosen the carriage bolt (C, Figure 38) securing the
foot pedal rod (A) to the transmission control arm (B).
4. Place a 2-1/2” thick wood block under the forward
ground speed pedal. While holding the pedal against
the wood block, tighten the carriage bolt (C).
