Diagnosis of Starter Solenoids
• Remove the red cable from the engine starter motor before testing.
• Place digital meter selector on D.C. Voltage scale that includes 13 Volts.
Step # 1.
12.6
1. Place meter probes on battery terminals. If the
reading is 12.2 VDC or more, proceed to the next
step. If the reading is below 12.2 VDC, charge or
replace the battery with one that has at least
12.2 V DC.
Step # 2.
(-)
(+)
A
1. Connect negative (black) meter lead to the battery
negative (-) terminal.
2. Connect the positive (red) meter lead to the ‘hot’
terminal of the solenoid.
3. Note the voltage reading.
Step # 3.
1. Keep the meter selector in the same position and
the negative meter lead connected to the battery
negative terminal.
2. Connect the positive (red) meter lead to the end of
the cable normally connected to the starter motor.
3. Engage the parking brake and turn the ignition
switch to the “START” position.
4. Note the voltage reading.
5. If the voltage drop is more than 0.50 VDC between
the two noted readings, the solenoid or the starter
cable is suspect. Replace the solenoid.
6. Re-install the red cable to the starter motor.
If the solenoid checks acceptable and the starter
does not crank, check for clean tight battery
connections and check the grounds for the
battery and the engine.

The 0510 Automatic Transmission
from HYDRO-GEAR for Lawn Tractors
Oil should NOT be checked unless there is a complaint about the operation of the transmission.
There is a gold colored plug in the top of the transmission. Clean the underside of the frame and the
top of the transmission before checking the oil level. Contamination cannot be allowed to get into the
transmission. When the plug is removed, a 6 inch metal scale can be used to check the oil level.
When the transmission is cold, the oil level should be from .50 to 1.25 inches from the top of the
casting. 20W50 engine oil can be added to the level of the bottom thread for the oil plug. The oil
never needs to be changed for maintenance.
The 0510 transmission has an expansion tank. This allows for oil to expand into the tank
when the transmission is hot, and as the oil cools it is drawn back inside the transmission.
The expansion tank will be silver-gray in color and should not be opened.
If you are working on a tractor where the operator experiences transmission complaints:
• Check to see that the brake return spring is in position.
• Check the movement of the by pass valve and the freewheel control rod.
• Check the brake adjustments, if adjusted too tight, the transmission can overheat.

RETURN TO NEUTRAL ADJUSTMENT Lawn Tractor
Hydro Gear 0510 Automatic Transmission
with Footpedal Control
WARNING: Potential for Serious Injury
Certain procedures require the engine to be operated and the tractor is raised off the ground.
To prevent possible injury to the technician or bystander, insure the tractor is properly
secured.
The return to neutral mechanism on the transmission is designed to go to the neutral position after
the operator’s foot is removed from the foot pedals.
Use illustration at the bottom of page.
1. Confirm the freewheel rod at the back of the tractor is in the position for the transaxle to move the
tractor. Raise the rear tires of the tractor off the ground to allow free rotation.
2. Remove the tractor footpedal linkage from the transmission control arm. NOTE: It may be neces-
sary to remove the drawbar plate or the right rear wheel to remove the tractor footpedal
linkage.
3. Start the engine and raise the throttle to full speed.
4. Check for axle rotation. If the axles do not rotate, go to step 5. If the axles do rotate, go to
step 6.
5. Stop the engine. Reattach the footpedal linkage then recheck using steps 3 and 4. If the axles
do not turn, the adjustment is completed. Stop engine.
6. Note the direction of rear axle rotation of the right rear axle. Stop the engine. Loosen the adjusting puck screw until the puck can be rotated. Rotate the puck in the opposite direction of the
wheel rotation in 5 degree increments. Tighten the adjusting puck screw to 250 to 320 inch
pounds. Recheck using steps 3 and 4. Stop the engine. Continue to adjust the puck and test
until the rear axles do not rotate. Reattach the footpedal linkage then recheck using steps 3 and
4. If the axles do not turn, the adjustment is completed. Stop engine.
WARNING: Do not attempt to make
any adjustments with the engine running.
Use extreme caution while inspecting the
vehicle linkage.

CRUISE CONTROL FOR FOOT PEDAL OPERATED
AUTOMATIC LT
There will be an actuating rod for the cruise control with a knob on the right fender. The operator
uses the forward foot pedal to get the desired forward speed; then pushes forward on the knob to
engage the cruise control. This causes the teeth of the Cruise Pawl to engage the Cruise Sector
Gear, which will hold the transmission Control Arm in the position for that speed.
The operator can disengage the Cruise Control manually by pulling backwards on the fender Cruise
Knob or by using the forward speed pedal to go faster. This pulls the teeth of the cruise pawl out of
the sector gear and the tractor will slow to neutral unless the operator pushes on the pedal.
The brake rod can also disengage the Cruise Control. There is a locknut on the end of the brake rod
that will push on the Cruise Disengage Actuator Spring. This will push the Cruise Pawl away from the
Cruise Sector Gear and the automatic transmission will go to neutral and the transmission will not be
able to fight the operation of the brake.

or a soft brush. To avoid damaging the cooling
fins, DO NOT use a pressure washer.
NOTE: Operating the engine with a blocked
intake screen, dirty or plugged radiator cooling
fins, or cooling shrouds removed, will cause
engine damage due to overheating.
IN LINE FUEL FILTER
The fuel filter should be replaced each season.
If the fuel filter becomes clogged, obstructing the
fuel flow to the carburetor, replacement is required.
RADIATOR COOLANT
The coolant should be changed every 1000
hours. See the engine service manual for complete procedure on changing the coolant. Mix
equal parts of ethylene glycol antifreeze and
distilled water for the proper coolant concentration.
The condition of the hoses, clamps, and associated parts should be inspected when exposed
during engine servicing.
NOTE: Properly dispose of old coolant according
to local regulations.

WEED TRIMMER from ELECTROLUX Home Products
While servicing a weed trimmer, remove the wire
from the spark plug and secure the wire in a
position where it cannot contact the spark plug.
Adjusting
Trimmer
There are two head assemblies used, one is
adjustable with from 1.5 to 3 inches of height and
the other is a fixed height. You will find a Locking
Plate Tab on the adjustable head. When the Tab
is depressed, the trimmer head can be moved to
the desired position.
Head
Locking
Plate Tab
Use .155 inch diameter Trimmer Line that is cut
to 18 ¾ inches in length before installing.
To install, fold the trimmer line in half. Push the
folded end through the opening in the trimmer
plate and over the retainer clip. Pull the trimmer
line into the retainer clip to lock it in place. It is
important that after trimmer lines are installed,
that the length is checked or an unbalanced
condition may occur. The length of all lines must
not vary by more than one inch.
There is a cover on the engine secured by one
knob for easy access. The screen inside the
cover as well as the engine air intake screen
should be cleaned during routine servicing.
There is a Skirt at the left front corner of the
Debris Shield. It should be replaced if damaged.

21” Rear Wheel Gear Drive Adjustment and
Troubleshooting
Anytime the Speed Cable is disassembled or the drive pulley under the deck is disturbed, the adjustment procedure should be performed.
CAUTION: Disconnect the Spark Plug Wire before working on the mower.
Procedure to Adjust Speed Control Cable and to Install the Speed Control Cable.
1. Move the lever on the speed control cable to the slowest position before installing onto the handle.
2. Install the Cable End over the end of the Pivot Rod at the side of the engine. Snap the cable
Fitting into the housing Bracket. Do NOT lock in the Adjustment Tab.
3. Set the Speed Lever to one notch below the fastest speed.
4. Hold down the engine control bail and pull starter rope through to rotate engine several revolutions
to seat the drive belt under the deck.
DANGER: The BLADE is turning when this step is performed. The mower must be upright; and
care must be taken to keep any object from coming in contact with the blade, especially hands and
feet
5. Pull all slack from the speed control fitting by
pushing lightly on the Pivot Rod, toward the
housing Bracket. Snap the Adjustment Tab into
place.
6. Return the speed lever to the low speed
position.
This is NOT CORRECT. If slack is found in the
cable, it is NOT properly adjusted. Repeat step
#5.
NOTE: The Adjustment Tab at the side of the
cable is not yet locked in place. The cable
fitting is locked into the housing bracket.
This shows the correct adjustment, with the
Adjustment Tab locked in and no slack in the
cable.
NOTE: The cable adjustment spring is not
necessarily collapsed after the adjustment.

7. The fitting on the Speed Control Cable End,
should be securely attached to this bracket.
Inspect the Belt Keeper Bracket, speed control
Cable Holding Arm to see if it is at a 90 degree
upright position. If the angle is other than 90
degrees, adjust this arm.
8. The rubber boot should be in this position
to protect the cable from debris and moisture.
Also check the condition of the cables at the
middle of the handle. If the cables have been
damaged, they may not be able to move into the
proper position.

9. Check the movement of the idler bracket. It
should travel from the deck tunnel to the engaged belt position. Check in both the fastest
and slowest speed positions. It may be necessary to loosen the flange nut slightly to get the
idler bracket to smoothly travel across the
needed range of movement.
10. It is difficult to tell if the speed has changed
as you move the speed lever, because the
speed differences are so small. It is best to
remove the cover over the idler pulleys while
evaluating the drive speeds. You should see a
different idler bracket position when you move
the speed lever.
