Adjusting Gate Latch Stop (590 Only)

Close and latch gate.

Push gate latch (A) forward by hand. If the distance between gate latch stop (B) and stop pad (C) is not 2 ± 1 mm (0.08 ± 0.04 in.), insert shims as necessary following this procedure:

Loosen bolt (D).

NOTE: Shims are slotted so bolt does not have to be removed.

If distance is greater than 3 mm (0.12 in.) transfer shims from storage position to shimming position until a distance of 2 ± 1 mm (0.08 ± 0.04 in.) is obtained.

If distance is less than 1 mm (0.04 in.) transfer shims from shimming position to storage position until a distance of 2 ± 1 mm (0.08 ± 0.04 in.) is obtained.

Center shims and stop pad and tighten bolt (D).

If necessary, repeat procedure on opposite side.

NOTE: If proper adjustment cannot be obtained, lower gate (tractor engine shut off). If there is a gap on one side of the gate only, see your John Deere dealer and have the gate straightened.
