TOWING CARTS AND OTHER ATTACHMENTS
Tow only the attachments that are recommended by and
comply with specifications of the manufacturer of your
tractor. Use common sense when towing. Too heavy of a
load, while on a slope, is dangerous. Tires can lose traction
with the ground and cause you to lose control of your tractor.

TO ADJUST GAUGE WHEELS (See Fig. 8)
Gauge wheels are properly adjusted when they are slightly
off the ground when mower is at the desired cutting height in
operating position. Gauge wheels then keep the deck in
proper position to help prevent scalping in most terrain
conditions.
NOTE:Adjust gauge wheels with tractor on a flat level
surface.
•
Adjust mower to desired cutting height (See “TO AD-
JUST MOWER CUTTING HEIGHT” in the Operation
section of this manual).
•
With mower in desired height of cut position, gauge
wheels should be assembled so they are slightly off the
ground. Install gauge wheel in appropriate hole with
shoulder bolt, 3/8 washer, and 3/8-16 locknut and tighten
securely.
•
Repeat for opposite side installing gauge wheel in same
adjustment hole.
TO TRANSPORT (See Figs. 6 and 10)
When pushing or towing your tractor, be sure to disengage
transmission by placing freewheel control in freewheeling
position. Free wheel control is located at the rear drawbar of
tractor.
•
Raise attachment lift to highest position with attach-
ment lift control.
•
Pull freewheel control out and down into the slot and
release so it is held in the disengaged position.
•
Do not push or tow tractor at more than two (2) MPH.
•
To reengage transmission, reverse above procedure.
NOTE: To protect hood from damage when transporting
your tractor on a truck or a trailer, be sure hood is closed and
secured to tractor. Use an appropriate means of tying hood
to tractor (rope, cord, etc.).
DEFLECTOR
SHIELD
TO OPERATE MOWER (See Fig. 9)
Your tractor is equipped with an operator presence sensing

the engine running and the attachment clutch engaged will
shut off the engine.

control.
