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

1. When towing tractor with front wheels on a carrier, remove drive shaft:

   1. Remove three cap screws and slide drive shaft shield (C) away from drop housing. Repeat on opposite end.

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

   3. Support drive shaft and slide coupler (B) toward drop housing.

   4. Remove drive shaft, shields and couplers.

2. Check transmission-hydraulic oil level (it must be visible in the top sight glass (D)). 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 gear shift levers to NEUTRAL.

5. For PowrReverser™ Transmission, put EH directional reverser lever in 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 in below freezing temperatures.

After Towing

Apply multipurpose grease to MFWD couplers and shaft splines, and install drive shaft assembly.

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