Introduction
The cruise control kit is designed to allow the tractor operator to maintain a desired “foot free” forward speed
in areas where constant speed changes are not required. The cruise control feature can only be operated
in the forward direction.
Installing the Cruise Control Kit
NOTE: Some installation procedures are more easily
performed from beneath the tractor. If equipped, the
mower deck may be removed from the tractor to improve access.
Wire leads w/connectors needed to power the cruise
control magnet are provided in the tractor wire harness.
To install the cruise control kit, proceed as follows:
• Remove the plug from the right side of the dash
panel by sliding a thin flat edged tool beneath the
plug and prying upward. See Figure 1.

NOTE: The wire harness connector for the cruise switch
may be connected to the dash panel plug. If so, carefully
pull the wire harness connector up through the dash
panel while removing the plug. If the wire harness leads
are not connected to the plug, it will be necessary to remove the dash panel insert.

• With the light area of the switch positioned toward
the top, push the cruise switch fully into the hole in
the dash panel.
• Reinstall the dash panel insert and secure with the
two screws.
• Remove the four hex tapp screws and two truss
head screws securing the fender cover; then remove the cover from the tractor. Refer to Figure 4.
• From beneath the right running board, locate the
hex lock nut on the end of the pedal shaft. Using a
3/4" socket and long socket extension, loosen the
lock nut so that it is unthreaded beyond the end of
the pedal shaft threads. See Figure 5.

IMPORTANT: Use care to avoid damaging the hydrau-
lic outlet tubes when completing the following step.
• Using a mallet and a 3/4" or larger bar placed
against the hex lock nut, carefully drive the pedal
shaft toward the left side of the tractor.
NOTE: The control linkage of the tractor will limit the distance the pedal shaft can be moved. Do not force the
pedal shaft; move the shaft only as far as necessary to
install the lock washer and nut on the frame side of the
pedal shaft plate. Refer to Figure 6.
• Slide the compression spring (Ref. 2), large end
first, onto the special screw. Refer to Figure 6.
• Insert the double ‘D’ end of the special screw (Ref.
1) into the double ‘D’ hole of the pedal shaft plate.
Refer to Figure 6.
