Looking underneath the handle panel, note which of 1.
the three holes in the speed selector lever the ferrule is
inserted into. Also note the direction of insertion. Then
remove the internal cotter pin and flat washer from the
ferrule and withdraw the ferrule from the speed selector
lever. See Figure 6-8.
Place speed selector lever in sixth (6) position or fastest 2.
forward speed.
Push speed selector rod and speed selector arm assembly 3.
down sharply as far as it will go to put the drive into the
fastest forward position.
As necessary, rotate the ferrule up or down the speed 4.
selector rod until the ferrule lines up with the hole from
which it was earlier removed. See Figure 6-8.
From the direction noted earlier, insert the ferrule into the 5.
