ADJUSTMENT - GEAR MODELS
1. Place the transmission in gear and release the park-
ing brake.
2. See Figure 29. Move the brake cam lever (A) for-
ward. There should be a 1/8" (32 mm) gap between
the lever (A) and the stop (B) as shown.
3. To adjust clearance, turn nut (C) clockwise to
decrease the gap or turn nut counterclockwise to
increase the gap.
4. See Figure 30. Set the parking brake. Loosen or
tighten adjustment nut (C) to achieve a 2-1/2” to 2-
5/8” (6.35 cm to 6.67 cm) compressed spring length
as shown.

PTO Clutch Adjustment
The PTO clutch adjustment should be checked when a
new belt is installed or if the mower belt is slipping.
1. Install the mower deck on the tractor (the mower
shown in Figure 31 was removed for clarity).
2. Stop the engine, remove the key, set the parking
brake, and disconnect the spark plug wire(s).
3. Disengage the PTO lever.
4. Loosen the set collar (B).
5. Pull the clutch rod back until the cotter pin (C) con-
tacts the U-shaped bracket (D). Slide the set collar
(B) forward to remove all slack from the clutch rod
and spring assembly. The collar should be touching
the spring, but not compressing it.
6. Tighten the set collar (B).
7. Engage the PTO lever.
8. Measure the length of the compressed clutch spring
(A). The spring should be 2-7/8” to 3” (7.3 cm to 7.62
cm) when compressed. If the spring is not within this
range, proceed to the next step.
9. Disengage the PTO. Loosen the set collar and move
the cotter pin (C) to the middle or outermost hole in
the clutch rod.
10. Repeat steps 5-8.
