SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS

TO CHECK BRAKE 

If tractor requires more than five (5) feet to stop at highest 

speed in high est gear on a level, dry concrete or paved 

surface, then brake must be serviced.
You may also check brake by:
1.  Park tractor on a level, dry concrete or paved surface, 

depress brake pedal all the way down and engage 

parking brake.

2.  Disengage transmission by placing freewheel control 

in “transmission disengaged” position. Pull freewheel 

control out and into the slot and release so it is held in 

the disengaged position.

The rear wheels must lock and skid when you try to manu-

ally push the tractor forward. If the rear wheels rotate, 

then the brake needs to be serviced. Contact a qualified 

service center.

TO REMOVE WHEEL (See Fig. 39)

•  Block up axle securely.
• 

Remove axle cover, retaining ring and washers to allow 

wheel removal (rear wheel contains a square key - Do 

not lose).

•  Repair tire and reassemble.
•  On rear wheels only:  align grooves in rear wheel hub 

and axle.  Insert square key.

•  Replace washers and snap retaining ring securely in 

axle groove.

•  Replace axle cover.

NOTE: 

To seal tire punctures and prevent flat tires due 

to slow leaks, tire sealant may be purchased from your 

local parts dealer. Tire sealant also prevents tire dry rot 

and corrosion.

factory set front wheel toe-in or camber, contact a qualified 

service center.

If your battery is too weak to start the engine, it should be 

recharged. (See "BATTERY" in the MAINTENANCE sec-

 tion of this man u al).
If “jumper ca bles” are used for emer gen cy starting, follow 

this pro ce dure:

IMPORTANT

:  YOUR TRACTOR IS EQUIPPED WITH A 12 

VOLT SYSTEM. THE OTHER VEHICLE MUST ALSO BE A 12 

VOLT SYSTEM. DO NOT USE YOUR TRACTOR BATTERY TO 

START OTHER VEHICLES. 

TO ATTACH JUMPER CABLES -

 •  Connect one end of the RED cable to the POSITIVE 

(+) terminal of each battery(A-B), taking care not to 

short against tractor chassis.

  •  Connect one end of the BLACK ca ble to the NEGA TIVE 

(-) terminal (C) of fully charged battery.

 •  Connect the other end of the BLACK cable (D) to good 

chassis ground,  away from fuel tank and bat tery.

TO REMOVE CABLES, REVERSE ORDER -

 •  BLACK cable first from chassis and then from the fully 

charged battery.

 •  RED cable last from both batteries.
