BEFORE OPERATING YOUR MOWER.
REFER TO PAGE 2.
a. Use the runner on the R.H. side as a guide; the blade
cuts approximately an inch outside the runner (Fig.

b. Drive so that clippings are discharged onto the area
that has been cut. Have the cut area to the right of
the machine. This wit/ result in a more even distri-
bution of clippings and more uniform cutting.

a. Depress clutch/brake pedal and engage parking
brake,
b. Measure distance between brake operating arm
and nut "'A" on brake rod.

(Fig. 22) and turn nut "A'" until distance becomes
1-1/2". Retighten jam nut against Nut "A",
Road test tractor for proper stopping distance as
stated above. Readjust if necessary,
Tire Care
Maintain tire pressure in front at I4 PSI and rear tires
at 12 PS!.
Blade Sharpening
For best results mower blades must be kept sharp. The
blades can be sharpened with a few strokes of a file or
on a grinding wheel. We suggest they be sharpened
after every 25 hours of mowing. Do not attempt to
sharpen while on mower. If you mow in sandy soil
check the blades after each two mowings. The sand
wears the blades away rapidly,

When grinding, care should be taken to maintain
blade balance and the blade should be checked
for proper balance before remstaflation on mower.
Unbalanced or bent blade will cause excessive
vibration when running, and eventual damage to
mower or engine. Replace bent or damaged
blades.
To check blade balance, drive a nail into a beam
or watt. Leave about one inch of the straight nail
exposed. Place center hole of clean blade over the
head of the nail (Fig. 23). NOTE: CENTER HOLE
OF BLADE ON NAIL. IF BLADE iS PROPERLY
BALANCED, BLADE SHOULD REMAIN IN POSI-
TION SHOWN IN FIG. 23. IF EITHER END OF THE
BLADE MOVES DOWNWARD, BLADE tS NOT

accumulation and eventual seizing of wheel hub
to axle shaft.
WHEN REPLACING WHEELS ON THE
TRACTOR THEY MUST BE MOUNTED
WITH THE LONG HUB SIDE TOWARD THE
CENTER OF THE TRACTOR. INCORRECT
INSTALLATION COULD AFFECT LATERAL
STABILITY. (SEE FIG. 46),
! 1. Tire Care
a. Maintain tire pressure of 14 PSI in front tires
and !2 PSI in rear dres.
b. Keep tires free of gasofine, oi/or insect con-
tro/ chemicals which can harm rubber.
c. Avoid stumps, stones, deep ruts and other
hazards that may cause tire damage.
(t. Removing front wheel for tire repair (Fig. 44):
--- Block up front axle securely.
---Remove hub cap, k/ip ring and washer to

A. Fuel System
IT tS IMPORTANT TO PREVENT GUM DEPOSITS FROM
FORMING IN ESSENTIAL FUEL SYSTEM PARTS SUCH AS
THE CARBURETOR, FUEL FILTER, FUEL HOSE. OR TANK
DURING STORAGE. ALSO. EXPERIENCE INDICATES THAT
ALCOHOL BLENDED FUELS _CALLED GASOHOL)OR USING
ETHANOL OR METHANOL CAN ATTRACT MOISTURE WHICH
LEADS TO SEPARATION AND FORMA TION OF ACIDS DURING
STORAGE. ACIDIC GAS CAN DAMAGE THE FUEL SYSTEM
OF AN ENGINE WHILE IN STORAGE,TO AVOID ENGINE
PROBLEMS, THE FUEL SYSTEM SHOULD BE EMPTIED BE-
FORE STORAGE FOR 30 DAYS OR LONGER,
