Transaxle Shift Linkage Adjustment
1. Remove steering tower cover.
2. Move axle shift lever forward to transport (high speed)
position. Measure shaf
t dimension from side of
transaxle case to end of shaft (Fig. 13). Adjust upper
linkage length at top eye rod if necessary to get proper
dimension (Fig. 14).
3. Move axle shift lever rearward to mow (low speed)
position. Measure shaf
t dimension from side of
transaxle case to end of shaft. Adjust linkage length at
top eye rod if necessary to get proper dimension.
4. Move axle shift lever forward to transport (high speed)
position
and verify that the dimension is correct.
5. Move axle shift lever rearward to mow (low speed)
position. Start the engine and with decks in down posi-
tion turn on PTO engagement switch. The cutting unit
should engage. When axle shift lever is moved to N or
transport position, the cutting unit should disengage. If
the cutting unit does not disengage there is a problem
in the axle hi-low switch circuit (see Chapter 5 - Electri-
cal System).
Measure from end of shaft to edge of transaxle.
