Neutral Adjustment
The neutral system for this mower consists of two neutral
linkage rods and a pivot that connects the ground speed
control lever to the transmission. The lower rod that connects
the transmission to the pivot is factory preset and should not
be changed for neutral adjustment purposes. The adjustment
is achieved by changing the length of the upper rod (A, Figure
51) that connects the ground speed control lever to the pivot.

Determining if Adjustment is Necessary:
If the tractor
"creeps" while the ground speed control levers are locked in
the NEUTRAL, then it may be necessary to adjust the linkage
rods.
Note:
Perform this adjustment on a hard, level surface such
as a concrete floor.
1. Disengage the PTO, engage the parking brake and turn
off the engine.
