smoothly. If not, grease the lift handle pivot grease
fittings located on the three tubes that support the
lift handle pivot.
14. Adjust the gauge wheels or skid shoes. Refer to
ADJUSTMENTS of Gauge Wheels or Skid
Shoes in Service Procedures Section.
15. To install the optional tire chains:
a. Remove the tractor wheels.
b. Attach the tire chains to the wheels.
c. Place the wheel spacer plates on the lug
bolts. The wheel spacer plates provide clear-
ance for the chains between the tires and the
tractor body.
d. Place the wheels back on the tractor.
e. Reinstall and tighten the lug bolts.
16. For GHS (Grass Handling System) equipped
Walker tractors, install a blower intake cover in the

loss and noise when the blower is not being used.
