stop at highest speed in highest gear on a
level, dry concrete
or paved surface, then
brake must be serviced.
You may also check brake by:

paved surface, depress brake pedal all
the way down and engage parking brake.
2. Disengage
transmission
by placing
freewheel control in "transmission
disen-
gaged" position.
Pull freewheel
control
out and into the slot and release so it is
held in the disengaged
position.
The rear wheels must lock and skid when
you try to manually push the tractor forward.
If the rear wheels
