Tips for getting the most out of this manual
Keep this manual in a safe place!
Digital files seem to have a habit of getting lost exactly when you need them most. To ensure
that you don’t accidentally delete or misplace this file here are some tips you should follow:
• Immediately after downloading your manual (i.e. now) it’s a good idea to save this file in
a place you will remember. We recommend putting it in a folder. To make a new folder
in Windows just right click -> New -> Folder. Name the folder something like Digital
Manuals, Tractor Manual, etc.
• Once you have a folder for this file, go to File -> Save As… Now save the manual file to
the folder you created. If you want, rename the file to something you will remember.
We recommend including the model number (this is important in case you forget where
you saved this file on your computer).
Remember: If you have put this file in a safe place on your computer and are unable to find
it again the following year, try Windows search feature: Start ->Search. Type in the model
number or another keyword that you know is in the file name.
Quick Search
If you are looking for something specific in this manual, you are in luck; All our manuals
are searchable! Just press CTR + F and type in what you are looking for. Some things to
remember when using the quick search feature:
• Your search won’t be 100 percent accurate. The software we use to make the
text readable might confuse an “I” with an “l” (L and I ) or a smudge on the paper
might have made the text unreadable by the software.
• Quick search will only search the exact words you type into the search bar in the
exact order you put them in. For example if you type in 20 millimeters when in
the manual it was written 20 mm your search will not work.
What you should get from this tip is that: Quick Search is not completely reliable. Be sure to
check the index and table of contents if you are getting no results when using the quick
search feature.
Printing
You will likely want to print out some or all of the pages from this manual to use in the
workshop.
Even if you want to print the whole manual you will probably not want to print out these first
couple of pages.
All of the printing options are located at File -> Print or CTRL + P. The most important options
are in the page range box. If you printed this manual now it’s likely that your printer would
automatically print every page. If you want to omit some pages or only print certain page
numbers you should to click the Pages button rather than All in the page range box. Now enter
the page numbers you wish to print, for example 2-40 or 18-22.
If you are planning to print only a certain section of pages be sure to use the page numbers
that are shown on the toolbar and not the page number shown on the actual page.
If you are planning to print this entire manual it is recommended that you print on both
sides of the paper. It looks nicer and you use half as much paper. Some printers have
duplex printing where the printer can automatically print on both sides. If your printer
doesn’t have duplexing capabilities it will take more work. First you need to print off the
odd pages. To do this select odd pages only in the print setup. Before you start to print, we
recommend you label the different sides of the first sheet in your paper tray because
depending on your printer it may be hard to figure out which way to correctly put the paper.
Once you have printed out the odd pages just flip the stack of papers around according to
the markings you made earlier and print the even side. Then put it in a binder, folder etc

ENGINE CLUTCH
The clutch release pedal is located at the left

hand side of the torque housing. The clutch is
provided for engaging or disengaging the power
of the engine from the tractor. It disengages
power from all power outlets including belt
pulley or P. T. 0. shaft.
The clutch is adequate for many hours of nor-

mal use, but if abused or inco.rrectly used in
any manner, its life can be drastically shortened.
A clutch should never be slipped more than
necessary, if used as a speed reducer or for
starting loads under full engine power, the life
of the clutch will be drastically shortened.
In the normal use of the clutch, it should only

be engaged with the engine at reduced speed,.
and engaged as fast as possible to acquire a
gentle start with t he least amount of slipping.
Therefore, the fastest engagement possible
under the existing circumstances gives the
best clutch life. Increase engine speed after the
clutch is engaged. crease the clutch release bearing clearance.

GEAR SfllFTING - TRANSMISSION
The transmission has a shift lever to select the

fore shifting into any gear, release the engine
clutch fully and allow it to almost stop rotating.
At this instant move the shift lever from neutral
to the desired gear position . With a little prac-
tice, the operator will be able to shift gears with-
out clashing, or having difficulty of gea rs en-
gaging.
Always stop the forward motion of tractor before

changing from one gear to another by releasing
clutch and applying brakes, if necessary. Never
attempt to shift gears on the go as excessive
gear clashing may result. To shift from one
gear to another, shift directly to the neutral
position, then move lever to desired position
before shifting to the next gear, never force

RADIATOR AND COOLING SYSTEM
TEMPERATURE GAUGE
OPERATING TEMPERATURE- The operating
temperature of the engine coolant is shown on the
temperature gauge. T h e pointer should operate
in the green portion of gauge, with a range of
1 70°F. to 220°F. If pointer moves into the red
portion of gauge, the engine is overheated. If
engine does become overheated for some reason
or other, allow time to cool for a few minutes
then add water slowly to radiator while engine is
idling.
Low engine operating temperatures cause con-

densation, sludge and corrosion. Keep engine

then having to go back to the same cylinder to
adjust the other valve, therefore, saving time and
simplifying the procedure . Starting with No. 1
cylinder and following the firing order of the
engine, only four ''one -half'' turns of the engine
is necessary for a complete job of adjusting

CARBURETOR
The carburetor has three adj u stments, one for
controlling the idling speed of the engine, one to
correct for c hange s in fuels and atmospheric
conditions at idling speed, and one to get max-
imum power without excessive fuel consump-
tion .
To regulate the idling speed of the engine, have
the engine at operating temperature and adj ust

BATTERY
The starting and lighting system uses a 12 volt

battery, designed and built to meet the require-
ments of the tractor.
Check the electrolyte solution in the battery at

least once a week (50 hours) to see that it is at
the proper level. This level should be main-
tained to lower edge of filler tube, which is about
3/ 8" above top of separators .
Keep all open flame away from battery as

an explosive gas is liberated when battery
• is being charged or discharged.
The battery supplied with your tractor has a lead

washer type valve in the filler tube to prevent
over filling. Never add anything to the battery

ENGINE CLUTCH
The clutch release pedal is located at the left

hand side of the torque housing . The clutch is
provided for engaging or disengaging the power
of the engine from the tractor. It disengages
power from all power outlets including belt
pulley or P. T. 0. shaft .
The clutch is adequate for many hours of nor-

mal use, but if abused or inco.rrectly used in
any manner, its life can be drastically shortened.
A clutch should never be slipped more than
necessary. if used as a speed reducer or for
starting loads under full engine power, the life
of the clutch will be drastically shortened.
In the normal use of the clutch, it should only

be engaged with the engine at reduced speed.

POWER DIRECTOR CLUTCH (Hand Operated)
The power director is provided to give a dual

range of speeds in various gears and also to stop
the power to the drive wheels with out stopping
the power to the P. T .0., belt pulley, or hydrau-
lic punp.
The forward position provides the high range.

The rear position provides the low range. The
center position is neutral and stops power to the
drive wheels. This lever may be shifted with-
out stopping tractor. To shift lever, depress
thumb button at top of lever.
Operate the engine at full throttle and select the

desire:i transmission speed to suit the work being
done. Severe overloads may be thrown on engine
if operated at reduced engine R. P.M. on heavy
loads. Avoid lugging engine.
ADJUSTMENT -POWER DIRECTOR CLUTCH
The clutch lever quadrant must be adjusted so

that it will hold the clutch lever in the neutral
position so that both rarges of clutch is released
equally. This can be checked b y holding the
release button depressed and moving the lever
slightly forward and rearward between the start
of engagement of both ranges and adjust lever
quadrant to hold lever exactly halfway between
the two clutch engagements.
The holes in quadrant are slotted. To adjust,

SHUTTLE CLUTCH
The shuttle clutch is provided as optional equip-

ment for utility tractors to control the forward
