HEAT SHIELD
A heat shield has been installed on all 3000 series
tractors for 1999. The heat shield prevents the
exhaust gases from browning the grass. Use kit #759-
3927. See Service Advisory CC-371.
LIFT LINK
The lift link has been modified by strengthening the
powder metal that connects the lift lever to the
hydraulic valve for 1999.
CHECK VALVE
For 1999, a check valve will be installed to the
hydraulic valve to prevent the decks and other attach-
ments from leaking down during and after usage.
LIFT STOP BRACKET
A lift stop bracket will be installed on the left hand side
of the deck to prevent the deck from hanging up dur-
ing operations. Use kit #759-3927.
ROLLER HEIGHT ADJUSTER
The rear roller height adjustment mechanism will be
changed for 1999. A newly designed detent pin will
replace the old one, preventing the loss of cutting
height during operations. Use kit #759-3928.
FRONT DECK HANGER ASSEMBLY
The front roller bracket has been redesigned to pre-
vent the front lift rod from detaching during operation.
SEAT IMPROVEMENTS
A safer seat spring, part number 732-0869, can be
installed to level the seat for petite operators. In addi-
tion, the seat part number 757-3010A, is now made
out of a softer material for better operator comfort.
See Service Advisory CC-358A Sections 5 and 6.
FRONT MOWER DECK HEIGHT ADJUSTER
The front mower deck height adjuster pins have been
changed from ball detent pins to quick pull pins.
