SERVICE INFORMATION
FORWARD/REVERSE PEDAL CREEP ADJUSTMENT
The following information has been provided to assist in making minor adjustments that are
part of the routine maintenance of the TLB 6235 . To remain a safe and trouble free machine,
it is recommended to check the following points on a regular basis.
1. Lift the tractor off the ground (all wheels) and support with jackstands.
2. Remove the retaining ring on the ignition switch using a suitable tool such as channel lock
pliers.
3. Remove two 1/4” trusshead screws from each side of the steering column cover panel and
one1/4” trusshead screws retaining the top of the panel through the dashboard. Remove
the cover panel.
4. Remove two 1/4” trusshead screws retaining the floor plate to the tractor frame and lift off
floor plate.
5. Locate the link arm from the pedal to the hydrostat control arm. Remove the bolt from the
3/8” straight yoke in the forward/reverse arm. The hydrostat has an internal centering
mechanism and will automatically center itself. Adjust the yoke inward or outward until the
bolt can be replaced back through the forward/reverse arm without actuating the hydrostat
control arm. Reinstall nut and tighten. (Do not overtighten yoke. Ensure free movement).
6. Reinstall the floor plate with the two truss head screws removed earlier.
7. Reinstall the steering column cover panel using five truss head screws removed earlier.
NOTE: Refer to the TLB 6235 exploded view drawing on page 29 to get
a better understanding of how the parts are assembled before attempting to make any
adjustments. Space is limited in this area and knowing what to look for is quite helpful.
PARK BRAKE ADJUSTMENT
1. Remove the stop screw, on the top of the park brake handle end cap, and turn cap clock-
wise to increase the brake tension.
2. Replace the stop screw.
If adjustment of the park brake handle does not increase the brake tension, adjustment at the
front axle actuator is required. The following information will describe how to adjust the park
brake actuator.
1. Using a 7/8" open end wrench, loosen the top lock nut on the brake cable assembly (9).
Turn the lower lock nut towards the end of the cable one complete turn of the nut.
2. Tighten the top lock nut and check park brake tension. If tension is too tight, loosen the end
cap on the park brake handle to fine tune to the desired amount of tension. If tension is too
loose, rework step #1 until desired amount of tension is acquired.*
*Refer to the exploded view on the following page for clarification.
Helpful Hint: Lengthening the cable will tighten the park brake, shortening the cable will
loosen the park brake.
