The Landlord and Sovereign tractors have been designed
for easy accessability to areas which need to be reached in
making adjustments and performing maintenance. The un-
derside of the frame has been left open to provide easy ac-
cess to areas requiring lubrication, adjustment or repairs.
The tractor hood is hinged at the front by two spring load-
ed bolts. It may be easily opened by releasing the two rub-
ber straps which are located one on each side at the rear of
the hood. Pull down and out on the straps to release them.
See figure 18. The tractor seat deck is hinged at the back
by two bolts. To raise the seat deck, reach under the front
of the deck from each side and pull the two locking levers
to the outside. As you hold the locks out, raise the seat
deck. See figure 18.

Starter-Generator Belt: If the starter turns but the engine
does not rotate, the starter-generator belt may need tigh-
tening. The belt tension may be adjusted by slightly
loosening the two generator mounting bolts and the two
adjustment arm bolts. A wooden handle or bar approxi-
mately one foot long and
l-1/4 inches in diameter may be
placed between the generator and engine block to tighten
the
belt. See figure 19. While holding the starter-generator
in position where the belt is snug, tighten the belt at the
slotted end of the adjustment arm. Actuate the starter to
make sure the engine will rotate. If it does not loosen the
bolt and apply more tension to the
belt. Tighten all four
bolts securely when the adjustment has been completed.
SEAT: The tractor seat may be adjusted from front to rear
in any of four positions. To change position, remove the
two capscrews and two nuts from the underside of the seat
deck
a,nd
line the seat up with the deck holes in the de-
sired position. When the seat is in the two forward posi-
tions, two rubber spacers are used between the seat and
seat deck at the front of the seat. They are not required
when the seat is in the rear position. When the seat is posi-
tioned as desired, replace the lockwashers,
capscrews
and
nuts and tighten securely.

Safety Interlock: The safety interlock switch prevents the
starter from actuating if the transmission lever is not in
neutral. It may need adjustment if the starter fails to
ac-
tuate when the key is turned to the start position. Also,
check the safety interlock adjustment if movement of the
transmission shift lever or hydrostatic control becomes dif-
ficult. To adjust the safety switch, place the transmission
shift lever in the neutral “START” position. On hydro-
static drive models move the control to the neutral
posi-
tion where the back of it just rests against the neutral “Z”
stop on the quadrant. Move the safety switch up or down
as required by rotating the two hexigon nuts on either side
of the bracket. See figure 21 and 22. Position it so the
