6. Do not remove the radiator cap 
    while the engine is running.
    Shut down the engine and wait 
    until it cools sufficiently. For
    removal, turn the cap to the first 
    stop to relieve pressure. 
    To replace the coolant, use the
    coolant recovery tank.
8. When refueling, be particularly 
    careful first to stop the engine 
    completely to prevent the fuel 
    from igniting. Never refuel in the
    presence of an open flame or 
    while smoking.

SAFETY/DECALS
9. Before starting any work on 
    electrical equipment or work that
    may cause you to touch the
    electrical parts accidentally, first 
    disconnect the battery cables. 
    Never remove the rubber cap 
    cover at the positive terminal of 
    the battery cable end. Before 
    connecting the battery to the 
    charger, make sure that the 
    charger switch is in “OFF” position. 
    Be sure to connect the charger to 
    the correct terminals on the battery
    (positive to positive, negative to 
    negative).
    A great amount of hydrogen gas is 
    generated by the battery when it is
    being charged. Take precautions 
    against fire: Do not have any 
    exposed flame in the area where 
    you are working. 
    Be sure not to cause any leakage
    of the electrolyte, since it will 
    corrode the skin or clothing. 
    In case of accident as described
    below, immediately seek first aid, 
    and see a doctor immediately for
    proper treatment.
a) If the diluted sulfuric acid from 
    the battery has gotten into 
    the eyes:
    Cleanse the eyes with a lot of 
    clean running water for more
    than 15 minutes, while opening 
    the eyes widely.
b) If diluted sulfuric acid from the 
    battery has been swallowed: 
    Rinse the mouth with clean
    water immediately and drink 
    a lot of raw eggs or milk. Lie 
    down quietly.
c) If diluted sulfuric acid has gotten 
    on the skin of clothing: Wash away 
    the diluted sulfuric acid completely 
    with a lot of clean running water and 
    neutralize with soap solution. 
    Then rinse with water.
d) If the diluted sulfuric acid is spilled: 
    Wash away with a lot of water or 
    neutralize with slacked lime or
    bicarbonate of soda.
10. Stop the engine and make sure
    the PTO shift lever is in Neutral 
    before performing any of the 
    following services, including.
a) Removal of the propeller shaft 
    between PTO and any attachment.
b) Adjustment of PTO drive train 
    and hitch.
c) Adjustment or cleaning of PTO
    driven attachment.
11.The steering wheel always has 
    built-in play to some extent, which
    is required for smooth meshing 
    of sector gear and pinion gear.
    Always inspect the amount of
    the play. Do not operate the
    tractor if there is too much or
    too little play in the steering.

SAFETY/DECALS
C. OPERATION OF THE TRACTOR 
    Before driving the tractor, 
    follow these rules:
C-1. Before starting and Driving 
        the Tractor
    Operate the tractor only when 
    seated properly in operator’s seat
    and keep a firm grip on the 
    steering wheel at all times.
    Never attempt to perform any 
    operation of the tractor from 
    anywhere else, on or off the tractor.
    Always wear a “hard hat” when 
   operating the tractor.
C-2. Starting and Driving the Tractor 
    Always operate the tractor at the 
    proper speeds which enable you
    to keep the tractor in complete 
    control.
      To start traveling, lower the 
     engine speed and release the 
     clutch pedal slowly.
     Before leaving the tractor, stop 
     the engine, remove the key, 
     apply the parking brake and 
     make sure that the engine has 
     come to a complete stop, and 
     any attachment is completely 
     touching the ground.

SAFETY/DECALS
5
 Slow down when operating the 
 tractor on rough ground.
 Never attempt to jump on or off 
 a moving tractor.
 When starting the tractor, 
 operating any attachment or 
 engaging the PTO make sure 
 that no one is in the way, 
 especially children.
    When starting the engine in an 
    enclosed area or building, ensure
    proper ventilation by opening the
    doors and/or windows to prevent 
    carbon monoxide inhalation.
    Mount the extension exhaust pipe
    on the tractor which has a cabin.

SAFETY/DECALS
6
 C-3. Traveling on Roads and Streets
  For traveling on roads and streets 
    be sure to lock both brake pedals 
    together before driving to prevent 
    either brake from acting 
    independently.
   Never operate the differential lock 
  while driving at high speed or 
  traveling on the road. For driving 
  the 4-WD tractor on the road, 
  be sure to place the 4-WD shift 
  lever in OFF position.
 C-5. Towing and Operating 
         on Hills
   For towing work on downward 
   slope, place the shift lever in low 
   speed and use engine brake.
   Never try to reduce the speed with 
 brake only. 
    Towing a heavy object on a hill is 
 highly hazardous.
   Widen the tread of the tractor and
   mount the wheel weight or chassis 
  weight to increase the stability 
   and operate with extra precaution.
 C-4. Steering and Turning the 
         Tractor
  Slow down your tractor and 
   disengage the differential lock 
   before going into a turn, being 
   careful to prevent any attachments 
  mounted on the front or rear from
   hitting anyone or anything

SAFETY/DECALS
7
 When operating the tractor on 
 either a steep slope or flat ground,
 be sure not to suddenly steer, 
 brake, clutch or operate 
 attachments.
 Do not operate the tractor at the
 edge of cliff or slope. Be 
 particularly careful right after the
 rain when soil is soft and may 
 give way easily.
Avoid operating the tractor on 
an extreme slope that appears 
hazardous, when forced to 
operate on such slope, use extra 
care. Driving forward out of a ditch 
or mired condition or up a steep 
slope could cause tractor to tip 
over rearward. 
Back out of such situation if possible.
If the situation does not permit you 
to back out, use the front wheel
weight or the chassis weight for 
balancing the tractor lengthwise.
Also in case any extra-heavy rear 
mounting attachment is used, try 
to obtain better balance in this 
manner. 
For towing, be sure to use the
drawbar only. Set the hitch point 
below the center line of the rear axle.
When using a chain, never try to
move forward abruptly.
C-6. Using Attachment
    To mount or operate attachment, 
    follow the instruction manual for 
    the particular attachment for safe
    operation.
When using agricultural 
chemicals with an attachment 
on the tractor, always follow the
 instructions in the manual for 
the attachment as well as the 
instructions provided by the 
chemical manufacturer.

Starting Procedure for Hydrostatic Drive Tractors
After Transporting on Truck or Flatcar
IMPORTANT:  Hydrostatic transmission can jump into gear without warning,
if the fluid leaks out of the control system. This can occur due to vibration 
if the tractor is transported on a truck or rail car. It can also happen if 
the transmission is drained or if the tractor sits still for very long periods. 
If any of these have happened, start the tractor as follows:
1.  Put the range shift control lever into the N (Engine start) slot and release 
     the speed lock lever to permit the speed ratio control pedal to return to 
     N (Neutral) position.
2.  Lock the brake pedals together, press down on the brake pedals.
3.  Pull the engine speed control lever and start the engine. Set the engine 
     speed to about 1000 RPM.
4.  Slowly move the range shift lever to H range for high speed engagement.
If gear clash is obvious the engine should be shut off immediately and 
the tractor unloaded by other means. Tow the tractor with the range 
shift lever in N(Neutral) to an area where the transmission can be checked 
by your Dealer. Refer to Towing the Tractor in this manual.
If there is no obvious gear clash, drive the tractor in the normal manner.
4.  If the charge indicator comes on during operation, determine and correct
     the cause to avoid complete discharge of the battery and possible damage 
     to other components of the electrical system. See your Dealer.
5.  If the coolant temperature indicator comes on, remove the load and 
     allow the engine to run at 1500 rpm until the indicator goes out. 
     If the indicator does not go out within one minute, stop the engine and 
     determine the cause. 

OPERATING INSTRUCTION
STOPPING THE ENGINE
IMPORTANT:  When stopping the engine after operating under heavy load,
run the engine at 1500 RPM for a short period of time. This will allow the 
engine temperature to decrease gradually.
42
STEP 1
Move the engine speed control 
lever to run engine at idle speed 
for three to five minutes to decrease 
the temperature of engine.

COLD TEMPERATURE OPERATION
To start and operate your tractor during cold ambient temperatures, use 
these procedures:
43
1.  BATTERY – Must have a full charge.
2.  FUEL – Must be clean and with no water. See Fuel Specifications in 
     this manual.
3.  ENGINE OIL – Must have the correct viscosity for the ambient 
     temperature range.
4.  TRANSMISSION HYDRAULIC FLUID – Use Cub Cadet Hydraulic 
     Transmission fluid.
5.  COOLING SYSTEM – Must have ethylene glycol solution for protection.
6.  TIRES – If there is liquid in the tires, the tires must have protection 
     against temperatures below 0 C(32 F). See your Dealer.
7.  STOPPING THE ENGINE – Run the engine at idle speed for a short 
     period of time to permit the engine temperature to decrease before 
     stopping.
8.  CONDENSATION IN FUEL TANK – To prevent condensation in the 
     fuel tank and water entering the fuel system, fill the fuel tank after each 
     operating day.
9.  FUEL FILTER CUP – During cold ambient temperatures, make sure 
     you remove water from the fuel filter cup each day.
NOTE: Do not use ether as a cold temperature starting aid.

OPERATING INSTRUCTION
IMPORTANT:  During cold ambient temperatures, never run the engine 
at low idle speed for long periods of time.
44
During cold ambient temperatures, if the engine will not heat to or keep the 
rated operating temperatures can cause damage to the engine can occur. 
Use the following procedures to warm the engine and transmission fluids, 
and to keep the correct operating temperatures.
1.  WARMING THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION.
      A.  To heat the transmission fluid to operating temperature, run the 
      engine at 1500 RPM for approximately five minutes.
IMPORTANT:  Operating the tractor with cold transmission fluid can 
cause rough tractor operation with possible injury to the operator.
2.   KEEP ENGINE AT CORRECT OPERATING TEMPERATURE.
      A.   Never run the engine below 1500 RPM.
      B.   Put a cover in front of the grille to control the amount of air going
      through the radiator. 
3.   STOPPING THE ENGINE
      A.   Run the engine at slow speed for a short period of time. This will 
      permit the engine temperature to decrease gradually before stopping 
      the engine.

OPERATING INSTRUCTION

TOWING
When towing a tractor, follow these rules:
1.   Never tow the tractor faster than a ground speed of 16 Km/h (10MPH).
2.   Make sure all controls are in the neutral or OFF position.
3.   Because of a possible loss of steering and brakes when the tractor engine
      is not running, use only a rigid towing bar and safety chains to pull 
      the tractor.
Make sure that the weight of a trailed vehicle that is not equipped 
with brakes, NEVER EXCEEDS the weight of the machine that is
towing the vehicle. Stopping distance increases with increasing 
speed as the weight of the towed load increases, especially on 
hills and slops.
HOW TO TRANSPORT TRACTOR
When you transport the tractor by truck or rail, follow these rules:

DIFFERENTIAL LOCK
GEAR DRIVE
RIGHT SIDE of the transmission
HYDROSTATIC DRIVE
LEFT SIDE of the transmission
Your tractor has a differential lock that will make both rear wheels turn at 
the same speed. The differential lock prevents loss of power when 
one wheel does not have traction but the other wheel does have traction. 
It also provides a straight in line steering aid when opening up the field 
and to control implement overlap.
TO ENGAGE THE DIFFERENTIAL LOCK:
Depress and hold the differential lock pedal down.
IMPORTANT:  Do not engage the differential lock while one rear wheel is
rotating and the other rear wheel is stopped. Always stop the wheel that is
rotating and then engage the differential lock.
IMPORTANT:  When you engage or disengage the differential lock, the front
wheels must be in the straight forward position. Before turning the tractor, 
disengage the differential lock.
TO DISENGAGE THE DIFFERENTIAL LOCK:
The differential lock will disengage when the differential lock pedal is 
released. If the differential lock does not disengage easily, push down on 
either brake pedal momentarily.
Do not drive on roads, or at high speed anywhere, with the 
differential lock engaged. Difficult steering will occur, and can result 
in an accident. In field operation, use the differential lock for 
traction improvement, but release for turning at row ends.

PTO OPERATING SAFETY
For the safe operation of the PTO, follow these safe operating procedures.
Three Point Hitch Connecting Implements
1.  Connect the implement to the hitch.
     See THREE POINT HITCH SYSTEM in this manual.
2.  Connect the implement driveline to the tractor.
3.  Check the driveline for correct length and for free telescopic movement 
     by lifting and lowering hitch system. The correct length is important to 
     prevent the driveline from hitting bottom or from separating in any tractor 
     implement operating position.
Drawbar Connecting Implements
1.  Connect the implement hitch to the drawer with a hardened steel pin. 
     Make sure the pin is securely held in place with a cotter pin or lock pin 
     and does not make contact with the implement driveline.
2.  Connect the implement hitch to the tractor drawbar before connecting the
     implement driveline to the PTO.
3.  Connect the implement driveline to the tractor. Check the driveline for 
     correct length and for free telescopic movement. The correct length is 
     important to prevent the driveline from hitting bottom or from separating
     in any tractor or implement operating position.
When doing stationary PTO work and dismounting from the tractor 
with the PTO running, keep clear of all moving parts as they are 
a potential safety hazard.
IMPORTANT:  Follow the implement manufacturers recommendations in 
adjusting and aligning the implement and implement driveline with the tractor.
PTO driven machinery can cause serious injury. Before working on 
or near the PTO shaft, or servicing or clearing the driven machine, 
put the PTO lever in the DISENGAGE position and STOP the engine.

DRAWBAR
Your tractor is equipped with a drawbar. Use the drawbar for connecting 
all pull-behind implements.
The drawbar must be in the storage position when using the three-point hitch.
Try to balance the load primarily on the implement wheels –as in 
loading a trailer or spreader. Avoid overloading the drawbar. Add
front end weights for improved stability. Engage the clutch smoothly, 
avoid jerking and use the brakes cautiously to avoid jackknifing.
Rear upset can result if pulling from wrong location on tractor. 
Hitch only to the drawbar. Use 3 point hitch only with the implements
designed for its use – not as a drawbar.

CONNECTING IMPLEMENT TO DRAWBAR
The correct connection of the implement to the drawbar will prevent stress 
on both the tractor and the implement.
To assure proper tractor operation and optimum implement performance, 
the implement must be connected to the drawbar correctly.
1.  Connect pull-behind implements to the drawbar only.
2.  Use a hardened steel hitch pin 
     to connect the implement to 
     the drawbar. Make sure the pin 
     is held securely in place with 
     a lock pin.
3.  When working with the drawbar, 
     raise the lower links as high as 
     possible to prevent interference 
     between the lower links and
     the implement.
4.  The drawbar provides the 
     standard hitch distance from 
     the end of the PTO shaft to 
     the centerline of the rear hole 
     in the drawbar. This is necessary 
     for safe PTO operation of trailing 
     type equipment.

Adding Fluid after Connecting Cylinders and Hoses
Operate the engine at a moderate idle speed. Set the stroke stop at the 
yoke end of the cylinder rod to provide maximum stroke. Then operate the 
cylinder in both directions about ten times, by moving the control lever 
up and down.
This will fill the cylinder and hoses with fluid and remove the air from the 
system. Fill the cylinder completely, stop the engine and check the fluid level 
with the transmission dipstick.
Add sufficient, clean specified fluid to bring the oil up to the proper level. 
See TRANSMISSION AND HYDRAULIC LUBRICATION in this manual.
NOTE:  If any of the hydraulic units are removed and replaced for any reason, 
check the oil level and add the specified fluid to the transmission to bring 
the oil up to the proper level.
When remote cylinders are connected to the hydraulic system, cycle 
the control lever about three times to remove air from the cylinder 
and hoses. With air in the system, raised equipment can drop 
accidentally and cause personal injury or machine damage.
Hydraulic oil or diesel fuel leaking under pressure can penetrate the 
skin and cause infection or other injury.
To Prevent Personal Injury:
Relieve all pressure, before disconnecting fluid lines.
Before applying pressure, make sure all connections are tight and 
components are in good condition.
Never use your hand to check for suspected leaks under pressure.
Use a piece of cardboard or wood for this purpose.
If injured by leaking fluid, see your doctor immediately.
The implement should be lowered to the ground before uncoupling
of the remote hydraulic hoses.
Lower or block elevated implements and other attachments before 
servicing or when leaving the equipment.

TIRE AND RIM EQUIPMENT
Tire Inflation Specifications
Tire pressure can also be adjusted as required to safely meet the following 
requirements.
A.  Severe Service. Tire pressure can be increased 28 kPa (4 PSI) more 
     than the maximum pressure shown in the chart, for tires used in severe 
      service. Severe service includes the furrow tire in regular plowing 
      operations, the downhill tire in plowing and in other hillside operations.
B.  Tires With Liquid Ballast. Inflate the tires 14 kPa (2 PSI) more than 
      the recommended pressure. This will compensate for aeration that 
      occurs  when the tires are in motion.
IMPORTANT:  During transportation on a railroad car or trailer, the tractor 
tires are often inflated to higher than normal operating pressures. Before 
using your tractor check the air pressure in the tires to make sure that 
the air pressure does not exceed the maximum pressures shown in the tire 
and wheel equipment chart.
For normal tractor operation use the inflation pressure shown in the tire 
and wheel chart. The inflation pressure are based on cold inflation pressure 
recommendations by Tire and Rim Association Inc.
For maximum tractor performance always adjust the tire pressure, within 
the minimum/maximum range to conform with the actual load on the tires. 
Under normal conditions use the minimum pressure rating for general 
drawbar work. Use the higher pressure rating, up to the maximum, for heavy
three point hitch mounted equipment, or heavy front and mounted equipment.
Example A shows the cross section of a tire inflated for maximum load but 
with a minimum load on the tire. The tire tread is not making full contact 
with the ground which will give poor performance.
Example B shows the cross section of a tire with inflated pressure correctly
adjusted to the load on the tire. The tire tread is making full contact with 
the ground which will give maximum performance.

TIRES/WHEELS/SPACING/BALLAST

A tire can explode during inflation and cause serious injury or 
death. Never increase air pressure beyond 35 PSI to seat the 
bead on the rim. Replace a tire if it has a direct. Replace a wheel 
rim which has cracks, wear or severe rust. Make sure that all the 
air is removed from a tire before removing the tire from the rim. 
Never use force on an inflated or partially inflated tire. Make sure 
the tire is correctly seated before inflating.
Tire Load Capacity
The maximum load capacity, shown in the tire pressure and load capacity 
chart, is of the wheel with the tire inflated to the maximum pressure. Do not 
exceed the maximum load capacity of the tire.

Check Air Pressure
Tire Pressure Check Interval     Every 50 hours of operation or weekly.
Check the condition of the tires and rims for wear or damage. Keep the 
tires inflated to the recommended pressures. See Tire and Wheel 
Specifications in this manual for recommended inflation pressures for 
each tire size.
For tires equipped with liquid ballast, check the air pressure as follows:
1. Use an air-water gauge. The valve must be at the bottom of the tire to 
    get an accurate reading.
2. Use a standard air gauge as follows:
     A. The valve must be at the top of the tire.
     B. Measure the rim diameter.
     C. Add 3.5 kPa (1/2 PSI) for each 305 mm (12 inches) of rim diameter 
         to the standard gauge reading.
Tire Inflation Procedure
A tire can explode during inflation and cause serious injury or 
death. Never increase air pressure beyond 35 PSI to seat the 
bead on rim. Replace a tire if it has a defect. Replace a wheel 
rim which has cracks, wear or severe rust. Make sure that all the 
air is removed from a tire before removing the tire from the rim. 
Never use force on an inflated or partially inflated tire. Make sure
the tire is correctly seated before inflating.
DO NOT inflate a tire that has had a complete loss of air. If the tire has 
lost all air pressure, have a qualified tire mechanic service the tire.
To ADD air to a partly inflated tire, use the following procedure:
1. Use an air hose with a remote shutoff valve and a self – locking air chuck.
2. Stand behind the tread of the tire and make sure all persons are away 
    from the side of the tire before you start to add air.
3. Inflate the tire to the recommended air pressure. DO NOT inflate the 
    tire more than the recommended pressure.
NOTE: Tires can be inflated 28 kPa (4 PSI) over maximum recommended
in chart when tractor is used for heavy draft operation and ground compaction 
is not a problem.

Tractor Equipped with Adjustable Wheels
If you need to change the position of the discs and rims of the wheels, 
use the following procedure:
1.  Put blocks at the front wheels, lift the rear of the tractor and put blocks 
  under the tractor.
2.  Remove six wheel mounting bolts at each wheel to remove rear wheels 
  from rear axle.
3.  Remove wheel disc from the wheel rim at each wheel.
4.  Install the wheel discs and rims in the required position shown in the 
  Rear Wheel Tread Positions in this manual.
5.  Tighten the wheel rim to wheel disc nuts to a torque of 152 to 172 Nm
   (112 to 127 lb ft).
6.  Put the rear wheels on the rear axle and tighten the wheel mounting 
  bolts with hardened washers to a torque of 118 to 132 Nm (87 to 98 lb ft).
NOTE:  When putting the wheels on the axle, make sure that the tires rotate 
in the correct direction. See Tire Installation in this manual.
IMPORTANT:  When adjusting wheels, check nut and bolt torques after 
10 hours of operation and every 100 hours thereafter.

TIRE SIZE COMBINATIONS-MFD
Your MFD Tractor must use front and rear tire combinations that are 
correctly matched. The use of recommended tire combinations will give 
maximum tractor performance, extended tire and reduced wear on 
drive train components.
IMPORTANT:  The tire size combinations shown below are specified to 
provide matched ground speeds of the front and rear tires. Mixing worn 
and new tires or tires of different diameters or loaded radii can give incorrect 
ground speed match. When replacing tires, consult your Dealer.

TRACTOR BALLAST
Ballast for your tractor includes front-end weights, rear wheel weights and 
liquid ballast in the rear tires. Front-end weights improve the steering 
characteristic when heavy hitch loads cause a movement of tractor weight 
from the front to the rear wheels. Rear wheel weights and adding liquid to 
the rear tires increase traction by putting weight on the driving wheels.
IMPORTANT: The Maximum operating weight of tractor should not exceed 
the following values. The operating weight of tractor includes the weight of
tractor, ballast weight and implement.
Front Axle                                       1350kg (2977 lbs) 
Rear Axle                                        1350kg (2977 lbs)
Total                                                2200kg (4851 lbs)
Front End Weights
Front-end weights can be mounted on the front-end bracket of the tractor 
with locking bolts and nuts. The weights, locking bolts and nuts are available 
from your Dealer. A maximum of six weights at 22 kg (49 lbs) each can be 
installed, depending on implement application and soil conditions.
Use front-end weights as needed to provide effective steering control and 
front end stability and to achieve maximum operating efficiency and tractor 
filed performance. Refer to the weight table in this section for optional 
methods of adding weight to the tractor.

NOTE:  When you have too much ballast installed on the tractor, you will 
see the clear shape of the tire tread in the ground which is an indication of 
no slippage. With too little ballast, the tire tread marks will not show because 
of the tire slippage.

Daily before starting the engine, check the coolant level the coolant reserve 
bottle. The coolant level should be between the "FULL" and "LOW" lines 
when the engine is cool.
Pressure Cooling System
Check and service cooling system according to maintenance 
instructions. Hot coolant can spray out if radiator cap is removing 
while system is hot. To remove radiator cap, let system cool, turn 
to first notch, and then wait until all pressure is released. Scalding 
can result from fast removal of radiator cap.
1.  The pressure cap on a pressure 
  cooling system has a control valve 
  that operates as a SAFETY RELIEF 
  VALVE to keep the pressure within 
  the system operating range. 
  Operating the engine without a 
  pressure cap or with a pressure cap
  that has a control valve that is not
  set to operate at the correct 
  pressure can cause damage.
2.  A pressure cooling system decreases the loss of coolant caused by 
  evaporation or boiling. The system must have good seals at the radiator
  cap, hoses and hose connections. It is important that you stop ALL 
  LEAKS OF ANY SIZE as soon as the leaks are found. A small leak can
  become a large flow when pressure is increased in the cooling system. 
  While the tractor is in operation, a weak hose can break and cause injury 
  or damage. Check all hoses and hose connections with frequency. KEEP 
  HOSES, HOSE CONNECTIONS AND PRESSURE CAP IN GOOD
 CONDITION.
PRESSURE CAP

LUBRICATION/FILTERS/FRUIDS

Coolant Solutions
Your tractor cooling system is equipped with an ethylene glycol coolant 
solution that has a high boiling point.
IMPORTANT:  Change the coolant solution at the change interval 
recommended in this manual (See Lubrication and service Chart). The heat 
generated by the diesel engine causes a natural change in the inhibitors in the 
coolant, which results in loss of corrosion protection. The loss of the inhibitors 
may cause water pump cavitations and cylinder block erosion.
Install only ethylene glycol coolant solution in the cooling system. Use a 
good quality, high boiling point, ethylene glycol that does not have any 
additives to stop leaks. Do not install any rust inhibitors that are not approved. 
It is possible that the rust inhibitors and ethylene glycol will not mix and 
work against each other to decrease corrosion protection, form deposits 
in the cooling system and cause damage to the cooling system and 
the radiator.
Do not use a low boiling point, alcohol type coolant solution.
The boiling point of alcohol is below the tractor minimum operating 
temperature; loss of coolant due to evaporation will result.
IMPORTANT:  Always have a minimum of 50 percent ethylene glycol 
coolant in the cooling system at all times and at all ambient temperature 
ranges. Do not install more than 50 percent ethylene glycol in the cooling 
system unless the ambient air temperature will be less than -37 C (-34 F) 
More than 50 percent ethylene glycol decreases heat transfer and will cause 
the engine surface temperature to be higher than normal.

LUBRICATION/FILTERS/FRUIDS
89
Cleaning The Cooling System
IMPORTANT:  NEVER PUT COOLANT IN A HOT ENGINE: THE ENGINE 
BLOCK OR CYLINDER HEADS CAN GET CRACKS BECAUSE OF THE 
DIFFERENCE IN TEMPERATURE BETWEEN THE METAL AND THE COOLANT. 
Clean the cooling system each time the coolant is changed. See the
Lubrication and Service Chart in this manual for recommended change 
intervals. Clean the system as follows:
1.  Remove the hose from to drain the coolant. Close the plug after the 
  system is empty.
2.  Install a good type of radiator cleaner and fill the system with clean water. 
  Follow the instructions given with the radiator cleaner.
3.  Remove the radiator cleaner solution. Flush the system with clean water.
4.  Fill the cooling system with the coolant solution specified in this manual. 
  Install coolant system treatment (If required). See Coolant Solutions 
  in this manual for more information.
5.  Check the hoses, radiator, pump and water manifold for leaks.
IMPORTANT:  Never drain the coolant when the engine is hot.
NOTE:  After the cooling system is completely filled, run the engine for 
approximately five minutes to remove all air from the system. Check the 
coolant level and add coolant if needed.

Fuel System Air Removal
AIR MUST BE REMOVED FROM THE FUEL SYSTEM.
AIR CAN ENTER THE FUEL SYSTEM WHEN:
1.  An engine stopped from lack of fuel.
2.  The fuel filter has been replaced or the filter cup has been cleaned.
3.  Any connections between the injection pump and fuel tank have been 
  loosened or disconnected for any reason.
4.  The tractor has not been operated of time.
5.  The fuel pump has not operated correctly.
NOTE:  If the tractor has not completely run out of fuel, it is possible to put 
fuel in the tank and start the engine without doing the air removal procedure, 
but a small amount of air can be in the filters. Air in the system will cause 
loss of power and stall the engine when a load is applied.
To remove air from the fuel system, turn off the engine and use the 
following procedures:
Open the fuel shut-off valve. Loosen the No.2 air vent screw until 
the fuel flowing is free of air bubbles.
Tighten the No.2 air vent screw.
Loosen the No.1 air vent screw on 
the fuel filter until the fuel flowing 
from the fuel filter is free of air bubbles. 
Tighten the No.1 air vent screw.

Fuel Injection Pump and Nozzle Check
The fuel injection pump and nozzles are precision units and must be 
serviced only by your dealer.
The injection pump is correctly set and sealed at the factory and should 
not require an adjustment. Whenever adjustment or repairs are necessary, 
see your dealer. Do not tamper with any of the pump units.
Hydraulic oil or diesel fuel leaking under pressure can penetrate
the skin and cause injection or other injury.
To Prevent Personal Injury:
Relieve all pressure, before disconnecting fluid lines.
Before applying pressure, make sure all connections are tight and 
components are in good condition.
Never use your hand to check for suspected leaks under pressure.
Use a piece of cardboard or wood for this purpose.
If injured by leaking fluid, see your doctor immediately.

Auxiliary Battery Connections
Engine can start with transmission in gear when neutral or safety
start switch is by-passed:
1. Do not connect across terminals on starter.
2. Attach a booster battery by connecting the positive terminal of 
     the booster battery to the "positive terminal" provided or to the 
  positive terminal of the machine battery. Connect the negative
  terminal of the booster battery to the "negative terminal" 
  provided or to the chassis of the machine.
  Then use recommended starting procedures from operators 
 seat.
3. When necessary repair electrical system components promptly 
  so that "jump starting" will not be attempted.
  Machine run-away can cause injury or death to operator and 
 bystanders.
When connecting an auxiliary battery or charger to the tractor battery, 
make sure you connect positive-to-positive and negative on the auxiliary 
battery to the tractor side rail as a ground. 
Do not connect auxiliary battery cables across the terminals of the starter. 
Start the engine from the operator's seat.
IMPORTANT:  This is the only safe method to start the tractor engine with 
an external power supply. Any other method of starting can cause injury or
death to the operator or other persons.
Connect the positive (+) cable clamp
of the auxiliary battery to the positive 
cable terminal of the tractor battery. 
Connect the negative (-) cable 
clamp of the auxiliary battery to the
tractor side rail as a ground.
IMPORTANT:  Always connect the negative cable last and disconnect 
the negative cable first so you do not cause a spark at the battery. A spark 
can cause a battery explosion and cause injury.

clean terminals is to use Battery Saver. 
If Saver is not available, remove all 
corrosion with a wire brush, then 
wash with a weak solution of baking 
soda or ammonia. Put some petroleum 
jelly or light grease on terminals to 
prevent corrosion.
Removal and Installation of Battery
To remove the battery, disconnect the battery cables and remove the 
battery bracket. When the battery is installed, make sure the cables are 
installed on the correct terminals. This is a 12-volt, negative ground 
electrical system and must be so connected.
NOTE:  When disconnecting the battery, remove the negative cable first 
from the battery and reconnect it last for safety reasons.
IMPORTANT:  Do not start or operate the engine with the electrical system 
not completely connected.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
116
When Charging the Battery
IMPORTANT:  Battery can explode during boosting or charging. Always 
wear proper eye protection, such as a safety goggles.
If the electric circuit inside the battery is broken, charging can generate a 
spark inside the battery, which can cause it to explode. If the battery is 
discharged, and the reason for discharge is unknown and if the lamps or 
horn do not indicate some battery voltage, check the battery with a volt 
meter for an open circuit using following procedure.
1.  Disconnect the negative (-) cable.
2.  Connect the voltmeter across battery terminals.
3.  If there is no voltage present, an open internal circuit is indicated.
  Replace the battery.
4.  If voltage is present, the battery is okay to charge. Charge the battery
  with a current of 4 amperes for 5 to 10 hours. To charge the battery 
  quickly for urgent need, use a current of 25 amperes for 30 minutes or
  less. A current larger than specified will cause liquid overflow due to 
 foaming.
5.  The specific gravity of electrolyte of a fully charged battery is 1.280 at 
  20 C (68 F).
NOTE:
1.  If using a battery charger, be certain the charger is turned off before 
  connecting to the battery.
2.  Charge the battery in a well ventilated area.
3.  Do not attempt to charge a frozen battery.
When working around storage batteries, remember that all of the 
exposed metal parts are "live". Never lay a metal object across 
the terminals because a spark or short circuit may result.
When the tractor is not in use, the battery will need a charge every three 
mouths to keep the specific gravity at or above 1.240. A storage battery 
not in use will slowly discharge. A battery that has discharged can freeze 
at low ambient temperature and cause damage to the battery and tractor.
When Battery Is Not in Use

STORAGE
117 
STORING THE TRACTOR
When your tractor is not to be used for some time, it should be stored in 
a dry and protected place. Leaving your tractor outdoors, exposed to the 
elements, will shorten its life. Follow the procedure outlined below when 
your tractor is placed in storage for periods up to approximately six months. 
See your Dealer for the procedure on longer storage periods.
A.  Store the tractor so the tires are protected from light. Before storing 
the tractor, clean the tires thoroughly, Jack up the tractor, when it is to be 
out of service for a long period. If not jacked up, inflate the tires at regular 
intervals.
B.  Run the engine long enough to thoroughly warm the oil in the crankcase, 
and then drain the oil. Change the oil filter as instructed in Engine Oil Filter. 
Refill the crankcase with new oil as specified in Engine Oil Selection in this 
manual and run the engine for five minutes.
C.  Fill the fuel tank with a good grade of Number Two diesel engine fuel.
If this grade has not been used regularly, drain the fuel and refill. Run the 
engine for about five minutes to circulate the fuel through the injection 
system.
D.  Drain flush and fill the cooling system with an antifreeze mixture ratio 
to protect the engine to the lowest anticipated temperature or a minimum 
of 50 % antifreeze and add cooling system conditioner. See COOLING 
SYSTEM in this manual.
E.  Do not remove the battery from the tractor, except for prolonged 
storage at below freezing temperature. The battery should be fully changed
to prevent freezing of electrolyte. Disconnect the negative ground cable 
at the battery to prevent possible discharge.
F.  Clutch assembly may become 
bound together if a tractor is not used 
for an extended period of time. A
