Adjusting Hydro Linkage

If combine "creeps" with hydrostatic drive control lever in neutral, then adjust as follows:

CAUTION: Shut off engine and remove key.

Place hydrostatic drive control lever in neutral.

Remove ball joint (A) from pump arm (B) (be certain pump arm is in neutral - spring loaded detent). Turn ball joint off or on rod until ball joint stud will pass freely into arm hole. Do not move arm from its neutral position.

If adjustment at the ball joint (fine thread end) is not adequate, more adjustment (coarse thread end) is available using the cable bulkhead lock nut (C). Be certain adequate thread remains in the ball joint and all hardware is tightened.

If creeping still occurs, see your John Deere dealer.
