Installing the Rear Wheels

1. Remove the four wheel bolts holding the rear

shipping brackets to the rear hubs.

2. Using a jack or suitable hoist, raise the rear of

the tractor only high enough to install the rear

wheels.

3. Install the wheels onto the hubs with the valve

stems facing inward (Fig. 1).

4. Tighten the wheel bolts to 75–80 ft-lb

(105–112 Nm).

Installing the Front Wheels

IMPORTANT: Never raise the front of the

tractor by placing a jack under the bumper

or front axle because the tractor may be

damaged.

1. The front hood support braces have two slots

(Fig. 2) that may be used to lift the tractor to

install the front wheel spindles. To access these

slots, remove the front grill and raise the hood.

Set-Up Instructions

2. Using a suitable hoist, raise the front of the

tractor only high enough to install the front

wheel spindles.

IMPORTANT: Do not pivot the weight of the

tractor onto the rear drawbar hitch because

the hitch will be damaged.

3. Install a 1.56” O.D. x .06” thick unplated thrust

washer onto the splined shaft of the R.H. wheel

spindle (Fig. 4).

4. Install the splined end of the R.H. spindle

through the R.H. end of the front axle and into

the steering arm (Fig. 4).

Note: The L.H. and R.H. spindles are

different. Assemble the spindles as

shown in figure 3.

Note: The outside edge of the spindle must

be parallel to the end of the steering

arm (Fig. 3).

wheel washer onto the R.H. spindle (Fig. 4).

9. Install a 2.50” O.D x .05” thick hub cap washer

onto the spindle. Now insert a .156 x 1.50” long

cotter pin into the hole in the spindle (Fig. 4).

10. Check the front wheel end play. Install shim

washers inside the hubcap washer as necessary

so there is minimum end play.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

•If you carelessly drink electrolyte you could

die or if it gets onto your skin you will be

burned.

HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD

•Do not drink electrolyte and avoid contact

with skin, eyes or clothing. Wear safety

glasses to shield your eyes and rubber

Note: Never fill the battery electrolyte with

the battery installed in the tractor.

2. Remove the cell cover from the battery. Slowly

electrolyte level is up to the lower part of the

tube (Fig. 9). Use an electrolyte with a specific

gravity of 1.265.

Set-Up Instructions

Checking the Wiring and

Fasteners

•Inspect the tractor for any loose electrical

connections and secure them as required. Check

the wire routing to make sure moving parts do

not interfere with wires and cause a short.

•Assure all fasteners are tight.

Burnishing the Clutch

The following break–in procedure must be performed

as part of predelivery service or when a new clutch is

installed.

Note: There must be a PTO driven

attachment installed to provide a load

in order to burnish the clutch facings

properly.

1. Run the engine at full throttle and engage the

clutch bringing the load to full speed. Then

disengage the clutch.

2. Let the load come to a full stop, then engage

again.

3. Repeat these procedures (1 and 2) 5 times.

Test Driving the Tractor

1. Check the oil level in the crankcase (refer to

Engine Oil in your tractor Operator’s Manual for

oil type, viscosity and crankcase capacity).

2. Check the oil level in the transaxle (refer to

Transaxle Fluid in your tractor Operator’s

Manual for oil type, viscosity and capacity).

3. Check that the coolant level is between the two

lines on the coolant recovery tank when the

engine is cold (refer to Check the Cooling

System in your tractor Operator’s Manual).

4. Make sure all water is drained from the fuel filter

(refer to Draining Water From The Fuel

Filter/Water Separator in your tractor Operator’s

Manual).

5. Check to make sure all lubrication points have

been greased as shown in the Maintenance

section of tractor Operator’s Manual.

6. Fill the tank with fresh diesel fuel with a

minimum cetane rating of 40 and the proper

grade for the ambient temperature conditions

(refer to Adding Fuel in your tractor Operator’s

Manual) Open the fuel shutoff valve and check

the fuel hose and fittings for leaks.

7. As applicable, check and test the operation of the

following:

•Engine and throttle controls

•Gauges

•Headlights and taillights

•Indicator lights

•PTO clutch and brake
