the drive pump.
To adjust Neutral position -

ground.

Make sure the parking brake is engaged, the PTO switch is in the OFF position and the traction pedal is in the
NEUTRAL position. Start the engine.

Disengage the parking brake. Adjust the lever bracket until the wheels do not turn. Stop the engine and tighten
the bracket hardware to set the adjustment.

10.5 TRACTION ROD ADJUSTMENT ______________________________________________
