Linkage: pedal shaft
Description: The Clutch/brake pedal and the drive control
pedal operate on two concentric shafts.
• The clutch/brake shaft runs the full width of the
tractor.
• The drive control shaft is tubular, and pivots on
the clutch/brake shaft.
• Each shaft has a toothed latch plate. The latch
plates are next to each other.
• The cruise control/park brake lever operates a
common pawl that engages the latch plate of
whichever pedal is applied. See Figure 6.19.
• A travel limit pin passes through curved slots in
both of the latch plates. The pin is blocked into
place by the fenders. See Figure 6.20.
Pedal shaft assembly removal:
NOTE: Confirm that the parking brake is released
before starting work.
1. Remove the mowing deck.
2. Remove the fenders, as described in the body pan-
els chapter of this manual.
3. Disconnect the rod that joins the arm at the left side
of the brake/clutch shaft to the drive belt tensioner
pulley bracket.
See Figure 6.21.
• Remove and discard the cotter pin.
• The rod will come out easily as the pedal shaft
assembly is lowered out of the tractor.
