8. Install the new paper element and precleaner on
the air cleaner base.
9. Install the cover plate on the carriage bolt and
secure with the wing nut. Do not overtighten the
wing nut, which could deform the cover plate.
10. Reinstall the air cleaner cover. Make certain the
cover retaining knob is tightened securely.
Properly cleaned and installed air cleaner elements
significantly contribute to prolonging engine life.
CLEANING ENGINE
This tractor has an air-cooled engine. Air must be able
to circulate freely around the engine through the
flywheel screen, through the cooling shrouds and over
the fins of the cylinder head and cylinder block. Keep
these areas free of accumulated dirt and debris or the
engine will overheat; possibly causing extensive
engine damage. Regularly clean the inside of the side
panels, dash intake screen and grille to ensure
adequate cooling. If debris has accumulated inside the
cooling shrouds of the engine, the blower housing and
cooling shrouds should be removed and the cooling
fins cleaned.
NOTE
This machine is designed to cool properly with
the side panels in place. Operating without the
panels could cause premature accumulation of
dirt and debris on the engine, resulting in
inadequate cooling.
SPARK PLUG
WARNING
To avoid possible injury, be sure the engine is
off and has cooled before making any
adjustments or repairs.
NOTE
Remove all dirt from around the spark plug
before removing.
To remove the spark plugs, always use a spark plug
wrench. Check the gap after every 100 hours of
operation.
Replace a defective plug with a new plug. Set the
spark plug gap at .030 inch (See Figure 24). Tighten
the plug to 28-32 ft-lbs. See your authorized dealer for
the correct replacement plug.

FUEL FILTER
WARNING
Do not replace the fuel filter when engine is hot.
The engine is equipped with an inline fuel filter.
Visually inspect the filter periodically for a build-up of
residue inside the filter body, and for a dirty element
which can be indicated by discoloration. Replace the
fuel filter when dirty.
