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. Sight glass ( If Equipped ): 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 front wheels more than 305 mm (12 in.). Drain excess oil after transporting.

3. Dipstick ( If Equipped ): Be sure transmission-hydraulic system oil is to the full mark on the dipstick (E). If the tractor is to be towed with the front wheels raised, add 1 liter of oil for each 90 mm (3-1/2 in.) the wheels are raised. DO NOT raise front wheels more than 305 mm (12 in.) above ground. Drain excess oil after transporting.

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

5. Disengage PTO and move range and gear shift levers to NEUTRAL.

6. For PowrReverser™ Transmission, put EH directional reverser lever in NEUTRAL.

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

8. 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.
