Tow Tractor

causym CAUTION: Remove 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 the carrier, even with switch in the DISENGAGED position.

IMPORTANT: To avoid transmission and drive train component damage, NEVER attempt to start tractor by towing; engine will not start.

1. If equipped with MFWD and towing tractor with front wheels on a carrier, remove drive shaft:

a. Remove three cap screws and slide drive shaft shield (C) away. Repeat on opposite end.

b. Remove spring pin (A) using a punch and hammer.

c. Support drive shaft and slide coupler (B) towards shield (C) to disengage.

d. Remove drive shaft, shields and couplers.

2. Check transmission-hydraulic oil level. Add 1 L (1 qt) for each 90 mm (3-1/2 in.) front wheels are raised off the ground. DO NOT raise wheels more than 305 mm (12 in.). Drain excess oil after transporting.

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

4. Disengage PTO and move range and speed shift levers to NEUTRAL.

5. SyncReverser™ Transmission or PowrReverser™ Transmission: Move reverser lever to NEUTRAL.

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

7. Do not tow a tractor faster than 8 km/h (5 mph). Do not exceed 3 km/h (2 mph) for the first 10 minutes at temperatures below freezing point.

After Towing

If equipped with MFWD, apply multipurpose grease to couplers and shaft splines, and reinstall drive shaft assembly.

Drain excess transmission-hydraulic oil to lower level back to full.
