Towing Tractor

CAUTION: Avoid personal injury or death. Disconnect MFWD drive shaft if towing tractor with front wheels on a carrier. Loss of electrical power or transmission-hydraulic system pressure will engage the MFWD and pull tractor off carrier, even with switch in the DISENGAGED position.

IMPORTANT: Avoid transmission and drive train component damage:

• NEVER attempt to start tractor by towing. Engine will not start.

• If possible, operate engine above 1250 rpm to provide lubrication, power steering and power brakes. Have an operator steer and brake tractor.

• Do not tow a tractor faster than 8 km/h (5 mph). Do not exceed 3 km/h (2 mph) for the first ten minutes in below freezing temperatures.

• Check transmission-hydraulic oil level. Add 4 L (1 gal) for each 152 mm (6 in.) front wheels are raised off the ground. Do not raise wheels more than 305 mm (12 in.). Drain excess oil after transporting.

a. Remove cap screw (A) and slide driveshaft shield away from clutch housing.

b. Remove snap ring and slide driveshaft forward. Support shaft using wire.

c. Install plug in clutch housing to protect from dirt.

2. Tap brake pedals to make sure differential lock is not engaged.
