WARNING:Do not tow the tractor, even
with the bypass rod engaged. Serious
transmission damage will result from
doing so.
• From just in front of the two rear tires, locate the
transmission bypass rods. See Figure 26.

• Pull one rod toward the front of the tractor until
the flange on the rod is forward of the keyhole
slot in the frame assembly.
• Lower the bypass rod into the keyhole slot and
release so the rod flange is against the front of
the frame bracket.
• Repeat the above procedure to engage the other
bypass rod.
• After moving the tractor, disengage both bypass
rods. Lift the rod and guide the flange of the rod
back through the larger circular opening of the
keyhole, then release the rod.
IMPORTANT: The tractor will not drive with the
bypass rods in the engage position.
TRACTOR CREEPING
Creeping is the slight forward or backward movement
of the tractor when the engine is running at high idle
and the drive control levers are in the neutral position.
If after operating the tractor for some time, it begins to
creep while in the neutral position, adjust the
transmission control rods as follows.
• Place the front of the tractor against an
immovable object (e.g. wall, post, etc.).
• Jack up the rear of the tractor so that both rear
wheels are approximately one inch of the ground.
• With the engine running at high idle and the drive
control levers opened out in the neutral position,
and the parking brake disengaged, check the rear
wheels for rotation.
If only one wheel is rotating, locate the transmis-
sion control rod beneath the frame at the front of
the rear tire. If both wheels rotate, locate both
control rods. See Figure 27.
