To check and adjust the link:
1. Set the belts to their lowest speed position;
1a. Start the engine.
1b. Place the gear selector in Neutral and release
the brake pedal.
1c. Depress the drive pedal to the end of its travel.
1d. Slowly release the drive pedal.
1e. When the drive pedal has reached the top of its
travel, turn-off the engine.
2. Remove the mowing deck.
3. Loosen the link jam nut using a 9/16” wrench.
See Figure 6.17.
4. Remove the nut that holds the link to the tensioner
pulley bracket using a 9/16” wrench.
5. Remove and discard the cotter pin that holds the
plain end of the rod to the cobra head arm on the
pedal shaft. See Figure 6.18.
6. Pull both pedals (clutch/brake & drive control) all the
way back. Secure them with a shock cord if neces-
sary.
NOTE: The ball joint end of the rod will not come out of the
tensioner pulley bracket, but pushing it up slightly
makes it easier to adjust the rod length.
7. Thread the rod into or out of the ball joint end to
lengthen or shorten it.
8. Adjust the rod so that the hole in the plain end fits
over the arm on the pedal shaft.
9. Install the lock-washer and nut on the ball-joint stud,
then re-check the adjustment.
10. Once the adjustment is correct, fasten the rod to the
arm with a new cotter pin.
11. Tighten the jam nut.
12. Test-run the tractor to confirm that the drive and
brake systems work correctly before reinstalling the
mowing deck.
13. Test run the tractor again after the mowing deck is
installed, and confirm that all of the safety features
work properly.
