NEUTRAL ADJUSTMENT
General Information
The hydrostatic transmission linkage is
designed to be self-centering or “return to
neutral”. If the wheels continue to drive with no
pressure on the control pedal (tractor creeps),
neutral adjustment is required.
CAUTION: The hydrostatic cooling fan
will be spinning. Use extreme caution to
avoid making contact with the fan while
performing this adjustment.
Adjustment Procedure
1. Bring the hydrostatic transmission up to
operating temperature.
2. Place the rear axle on jack stands, and
remove the rear wheels.
NOTE: Do not set the parking brake.
3. To gain access to the adjustment eccentric,
turn the front wheels in either direction to the
steering stop.
