After two hours of use, recheck and set back to .010-.015 inches. If the above procedure does not work, see your authorized dealer. FIGURE 13. 1. Access slots 2. Brake plate 3. Self-locking nuts ADJUSTING THE BRAKES During normal operation of this machine, the brakes are subject to wear and will require periodic examination and adjustment. To check the brake adjustment, place the gear shift lever in neutral position, lock the parking brake. You should not be able to push the tractor. If the tractor can be pushed with the parking brake locked, or if the unit cannot be pushed with the parking brake released, brake adjustment is necessary. To adjust the brake, proceed as follows. 1. Tighten the inside nut until the cam lever can not be moved by hand. 11 2. Loosen the inside nut until the cam lever can be pushed forward so that there is a 1/8" to 3/16" space between the cam lever and stop bolt. See figure 14. 3. Tighten the outside nut against the inside nut, using two V2” wrenches. See figure 14. 4. If there is no more adjustment left at the two nuts, tighten the hex nut on the end of the brake rod, under the spring. See figure 15. Remove the hairpin cotter and clevis pin from the other end of the brake rod to disconnect it, and tighten the nut. Recheck the adjustment, making certain correct adjustment is reached before operating the tractor. FIGURE 14. FIGURE 15. WHEEL ALIGNMENT The front wheels should toe-in approximately 1/8". Measure the distances A and B on the front wheels. See figure 16. NOTE: Dimension B should be approximately 1/8 inch less than dimension A. FIGURE 16. Front wheel adjustments. To adjust the toe-in remove one ball joint, loosen the lock nut “C” at the ball joint and turn the tie rod ball joint in or out as required. See figure 17. NOTE Tie rod has a bend in the center for clearance of castle nut on pivot bar. Bend must remain down as shown in figure 17. TURNING RADIUS The front wheels should have an equal angle for left and right turns. If adjustment is necessary, remove ball joint and loosen lock nut “D,” turn the drag link ball joint clockwise or counterclockwise as required. See figure 17. 12 A CAUTION Be sure all parts are tightened securely. LIFT CONTROL LEVER The lift control lever is used to lift or lower equipment used with the tractor. The equipment can be set in five positions by depressing the button on the lever and releasing it when the desired position is reached. See figure 18. FIGURE 18. MAINTENANCE ENGINE OIL The engine crankcase is filled with ship-away oil. This oil may be used for the first 5 hours of engine operation at temperatures between + 90 degrees F. and 0 degrees F. If temperatures are not within this range, drain the oil from the crankcase and replace with new oil as specified in the “LUBRICATION TABLE.” The engine oil must be drained and replaced with new oil every 30 hours of engine operation. To aid starting, the selection of crankcase lubricating oils should be based on the lowest anticipated temperatures until the next drain period. Refer to “LUBRICATION TABLE.” Low Ash Engine Oil or other oil meeting API Service Classification SF is recommended. For maximum engine life select API SF oils with lowest levels of barium, calcium, or magnesium additives and minimum ash content (approximately 0.5%). Lubricant suppliers will normally furnish this information on their engine oils. Regularly check the oil level of the engine crankcase to see that it is filled to the correct level. NOTE: Check the oil level only while the engine is stopped. 11 and 16 H.P. Units—Always keep the oil level between the “FULL” and the “LOW” marks on the dipstick. When checking the oil level the dipstick must be withdrawn and wiped clean, then inserted all the way and withdrawn for a true reading. 8 H.P. Units—Always keep the oil level in the crankcase full to the point of overflowing. Filling the Crankcase To fill the crankcase with oil, place the tractor on a level surface. Clean the area around oil fill before removing oil filler cap and dipstick. (11 and 16 H.P. Units.) 8 H.P. Units—Remove oil fill plug. Fill crankcase to point of overflowing. POUR SLOWLY. Capacity 3 pints. Replace oil fill plug. 11 and 16 H.P. Units—Remove the cap and dipstick and fill to the full mark on the dipstick. POUR SLOWLY. Capacity 3 pints. When checking the oil level, push the dipstick assembly firmly but slowly until cap bottoms on tube. DO NOT OVERFILL. Dipstick assembly must be pushed fully into tube at all times when engine is operating. NOTE: Never overfill the engine crankcase. Engine may overheat and/or damage may result if the crankcase is below the “LOW” mark or over the “FULL” mark. AIR CLEANER (8 H.P. Units) Clean and re-oil foam element at three month intervals or every 25 hours, whichever occurs first. NOTE: Service more often under dusty conditions. To Service Air Cleaner (Refer to figure 19) 1. Remove two screws and lift off complete...
