If gearshift lever is hard to shift, it does not necessarily mean that the cable needs adjustment.

Hard shifting can be caused by:

A damaged, dirty, rusty or pinched shift cable. For these problems, inspect, clean, adjust or replace cable.

Internal transmission problems. If you suspect a transmission problem, see your John Deere dealer.

To adjust linkage, shift transmission into second gear. Gearshift lever should be leaning slightly forward when in second gear.

From under cab, loosen lock nut (A) and adjust ball joint (B) to meet specification.
