DIFFERENTIAL LOCK

DIFFERENTIAL LOCK PEDAL

GEAR DRIVE RIGHT SIDE of the transmission

Your tractor has a differential lock that will make both rear wheels turn at the same speed. The differential lock prevents loss of power when one wheel does not have traction but the other wheel does have traction. It also provides a straight in line steering aid when opening up the field and to control implement overlap.

TO ENGAGE THE DIFFERENTIAL LOCK:

Depress and hold the differential lock pedal down.

IMPORTANT: Do not engage the differential lock while one rear wheel is rotating and the other rear wheel is stopped. Always stop the wheel that is rotating and then engage the differential lock.

IMPORTANT: When you engage or disengage the differential lock, the front wheels must be in the straight forward position. Before turning the tractor, disengage the differential lock.

TO DISENGAGE THE DIFFERENTIAL LOCK:

The differential lock will disengage when the differential lock pedal is released. If the differential lock does not disengage easily, push down on either brake pedal instantaneously.

Do not drive on roads, or at high speed anywhere, with the differential lock engaged. Difficult steering will occur, and can result in an accident. In field operation, use the differential lock for traction improvement, but release for turning at row ends.

POWER TAKE OFF (REAR PTO)

PTO driven machinery can cause serious injury or death, usually due to wrapped clothing. When required by the job to be in the drive shaft area, stay clear of rotating parts. Before working on the drive shaft, or servicing or clearing the driven machine, where applicable on this tractor, put the PTO clutch lever in the DISENGAGE position, the PTO lever in the NEUTRAL or OFF, and STOP the engine.

Rear PTO

The rear PTO is a 540 RPM with a 34.9 mm (1 3/8 inch) diameter 6 spline output shaft.

ENGAGE THE REAR PTO AS FOLLOWS:

1. Push the clutch pedal fully

2. M ove the PTO control lever to the ON position.

3. Release the clutch pedal slowly

DISENGAGE THE REAR PTO AS FOLLOWS:

1. Push the clutch pedal fully

2. M ove the PTO control lever to the OFF (Engine Start) position.

3. Release the clutch pedal slowly

NOTE: Keep the PTO control lever in the OFF (Engine Start) position when starting the engine and when the PTO is not being used.

The following table shows the required speed to get the required Rear PTO output shaft speed.

POWER TAKE OFF (MID PTO)

Mid PTO (OPTION)

The Mid PTO has a 25.4 mm(1 inch) diameter 15 spline output shaft.

ENGAGE THE MID PTO AS FOLLOWS:

1. Push the clutch pedal fully

2. Move the Mid PTO control lever to the ON position.

3. Release the clutch pedal slowly.

DISENGAGE THE MID PTO AS FOLLOWS:

1. Push the clutch pedal fully.

2. Move the Mid PTO control lever to the OFF (Engine Start) position.

3. Release the clutch pedal.

NOTE: Keep the Mid PTO control lever in the OFF (Engine Start) when starting the engine and when the PTO is not being used.

The following table shows the required engine speed to get the required Mid PTO output shaft speed.

Power Take Off Guards

All tractors have a safety guard for the Rear PTO shaft and safety cover for the Mid PTO shaft.

Whenever a PTO driven machine is in operation, the PTO guard must be in place for most operations to prevent injury to the operator or bystanders. Where attachments, such as pumps, are installed on the PTO shaft (especially if the tractor PTO guard is moved upward or removed) extended shielding equivalent to the PTO guard must be installed with the attachment. Install the PTO guard to its original position immediately when the attachment is removed.
