Turn tractor over in carton lid so that it rests on seat
and steering wheel. Remove chain from its protective
carton (careful, it’s a bit greasy), drape chain over
assembled pedal crank arm as shown, and feed chain
through “chain tunnel” of body toward rear of tractor,
finally resting pedal crank arm in pedal slot. Reaching
into rear chain access hole of body, lift end of chain out
of body. Pass rear axle through loop of chain; squared
end of rear axle shaft must be on left side of tractor
when upside down (see illustration). Place rear axle in
rear axle slot of body. Pass 10-24 x
3
/4" screws through
body and pedal bearing backing plate, trapping pedal
bearing into cupped recess in body; thread 10-24
Kepnuts onto bolts and tighten. Slide assembled axle
housing (from Subassembly Step 2) over one end of
axle. One at a time, pass
1
/4-20 x 3/4" bolts through
holes in housing and body (this is easier with housing
in full forward position). Thread nuts onto bolts – DO
NOT TIGHTEN. Repeat this assembly for other side.
To adjust chain tension, grab rear axle with fingers on
both sides of gear, pull chain back so that chain is
snug. While holding gear in this position, tighten one
bolt on each side to hold axle in place, then tighten
remainder of bolts. Rotate pedal to check operation
and oil chain liberally while rotating.
