IA SAFE OPERATION
Careful operation is your best insurance against an accident. Read this section carefully before operating the tractor. All
operators, no matter how much experience they may have had, should read this and other related manuals before operating
tractor or any implement attached to it. It is the owner's obligation to instruct all operators in safe operation.

operation.

2. OPERATING THE TRACTOR 3. DRIVING THE TRACTOR ON THE ROAD

1. Never start engine or operate levers from anywhere
other than the seat.
2. Before, starting the engine, make sure that all levers
(including auxiliary control levers) are in their neutral
positions, that the parking brake is engaged, and that
both the clutuh and the Power Take-Off (PTO) are
disengaged.
Fasten the seat belt if the tractor has a ROPS.
1. Lock the two brake pedals together to help assure
straightline stops. Uneven braking at road speeds could
cause the tractor to roll over.
2. Always slow the tractor down before turning. Turning at
high speed may tip the tractor over.
3. Make sure that the Slow-Moving Vehicle (SMV) emblem
is clean and visible. Use hazard lights as required.

3. Do not start engine by shorting across starter terminals
or bypassing the safety start switch. Machine may start
in gear and move if nomal starting circuitry is bypassed.
4. Pull only from the drawbar or hitch. Never hitch to axle
housing or any other point except drawbar; such
arrangements only increase the risk of serious personal
injury or death due to a tractor upset (fixed or swinging
type).
4. Observe all local traffic and safety regulations.
5. Turn the headlights on. Dim them when meeting
another vehicle.
6. Drive at speeds that allow you to maintain control at all
times.
7. Do not apply the differential lock while traveling at road
speeds. The tractor may run out of control.

5. Do not operate or idle engine in a non-ventilated area.
Carbon monoxide gas is colorless, odorless, and deadly.
6. Keep all shields and guards in place. Replace any that
are missing or damaged.
7. Avoid sudden starts. To avoid upsets, slow down when
turning, on uneven terrain, and before stopping.
10. When towing other equipment, use a safety chain and
8. The tractor cannot turn with the differential locked and
attempting to do so could be dangerous.
8. Avoid sudden motions of the steerting wheel as they
can lead to a dangerous loss of stability. The risk is
especially great when the tractor is traveling at road
speeds.
9. Do not operate an implement while the tractor is on the
road. Lock it in the raised position.
place an SMV emblem on it as well.

9. Do not operate near ditches, holes, embankments, or

other terrain features which may collapse under the
tractor's weight. The risk of tractor upset is even higher
when the ground is loose or wet.

10. Driving forward out of a ditch or mire or up a steep slope

risks a tractor upset backward. Always back out of these
situations. Extra caution is required with four-wheel
drive models because their higher traction can give the
operator false confidence in the tractor's ability to climb
slopes.

11. To avoid upsets, always back up steep slopes. Stay off

hills and slopes too steep for safe operation.

12. Watch where you are going at all times. Watch for and
avoid obstacles. Be alert at row ends, near trees, and
other obstructions.

13. When working in groups, always let the others know

what you are going to do before you do it.

14. Never "freewheel". Disengaging the clutch or shifting

into neutral while descending a slope could lead to a
loss of control.

15. Never try to get on or off a moving tractor.

3

4. STOPPING THE TRACTOR

1. Disengage the PTO, lower all implements, place all

control levers in their neutral positions, apply parking
brake, turn off the engine, and remove the key.

2. Make sure that the tractor has come to a complete stop

before dismounting.

radiator.

7. Disconnect the battery's ground cable before working

on or near electric components.

8. To avoid sparks from an accidental short circuit, always

2. When using a 3-point hitch mounted implement, be sure

to install the proper counterballast weight on the front of
the tractor.

3. When transporting on the road, set the implement

lowering control in the "lock" position to hold the
implement in the raised position.

use hands to search for suspected leaks; Use a piece of

cardboard or wood, instead. Use of safety goggles or
other eye protection is also highly recommended.
If injured by escaping fluid, see a medical doctor at once.
This fluid can produce gangrene or severe allergic
reaction.

8. JUMP STARTING INSTRUCTIONS AND PRECAUTIONS

If ice is present or the battery is cracked, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO "JUMP START" vehicle.
(1) Bring helper vehicle with a battery of the same voltage as disabled tractor within easy cable reach. "THE VEHICLES MUST
NOT TOUCH".
(2) Engage the parking brakes of both vehicles and put the shift levers in neutral. Turn both Key switches off.
(3) Put on safety goggles and rubber gloves.
(4) Remove the vent caps from both batteries.
(5) Cover vent holes with damp rags. Do not allow the rags to touch the battery terminals.
(6) Attach the red clamp to the positive (red, (fl or pas.) terminal of the dead battery and clamp the other end of the same cable
to the positive (red, (fl or pas.) terminal of the helper battery.
(7) Clamp the other cable to the negative (black, 8 or neg.) terminal of the helper battery.
(8) Clamp the other end to the engine block or frame of the disabled tractor as far from the dead battery as possible.
(9) Start the helper vehicle and let its engine run for a few moments. Start the disabled tractor.
(10) Disconnect the jumper cables in the exact reverse order of attachment (Steps 8, 7 and 6).

I 4. OPERATING NEW TRACTOR

How a new tractor is handled and maintained determines
the life of the tractor.
4.1 LOADING AND UNLOADING
A new tractor just off the factory production line has been, (1) When loading (or unloading) a tractor onto a truck or
of course, well fitted and tested, but the various parts are trailer, chock the truck or trailer's tires.
not accustomed to strenuous types of work, so care should (2) Securely fix a rugged ramp with non-skids to the truck
be taken to operate the tractor for the first 100 hours at a or trailer bed and check to see that there are no people
slower speed and avoid excessive work or operation until around before starting to load or unload the tractor.
the various parts become well "broken-in." The manner in
which the tractor is handled during the "breaking-in" peri•
od greatly affects the life of your tractor. Therefore, to ob-
tain the maximum performance and the longest life of the
tractor, it is very important to properly break-in your
tractor.
In handling a new tractor the following precautions should
. be well observed.

• Do not Operate the Tractor at Full Speed for

the First 100 Hours.
• Do not start quickly nor apply the brakes suddenly.
• In winter, operate the tractor after fully warming up the
engine.
• Do not run the engine at speeds faster than necessary.
• On rough roads, slow down to suitable speeds. Do not
operate the tractor at fast speed.
The above precautions are not limited only to new tractors,
but to all tractors. 'frut it should be especiatty observed in -
case of new tractors.

• Changing Lubricating Oil for New Tractors

The lubricating oil is especially important in the case of a
new tractor. The various parts are not "broken-in" and are

during the operating of the tractor; and this may wear out

5.3 PTO OPERATION
The PTO is controlled with two levers. The PTO gear
shift lever can be placed in "N" or "LIVE PTO" (or
"GROUND PTO" if equipped) which disconnects or
connects the PTO propeller shaft and gears. The PTO
clutch control lever engages or disengages the PTO clutch
which gives the PTO independent "LIVE" control.
IMPORTANT:
• To protect both the tractor and implement, shift PTO
gear shift lever and PTO clutch control lever at low
engine RPM.
CAUTIONS:
(1) Disengage PTO, stop engine, and allow all
rotating components to come to a com-
plete stop before connecting, disconnecting,
adjusting, or cleaning any PTO driven
equipment.
(2) Keep PTO gear shift lever in the "N" position
when tractor is not used (with engine
stopped). This will prevent PTO shaft from
turning when the engine is started.
do not force it. Operate PTO clutch lever "ON" and "N"
until PTO gear shift lever is easily shifted.
IMPORTANTS:
(1) Always make certain PTO clutch lever is in "N" posi-
tion when PTO gear shift lever is shifted.
(2) When not using PTO keep PTO gear shift lever in "N"
position.
• GROUND PTO [If equipped]
Stop tractor travel and shift the PTO gear shift lever to
"Ground PTO" position. If difficult to shift, inch tractor
forward, stop, and try shifting again. It is not necessary to
operate PTO clutch control lever when shifting to "Ground
PTO" position.
IMPORT ANTS:
(1) Do not select the "Ground PTO" setting for heavy-
duty jobs such as rotary tilling and forage harvesting.
(2) For maximum PTO shaft speeds of various implements,
see the implement Operator's Manual.
21

• PTO Clutch Control Lever IMPORT ANTS:

• 4950 (OT), 5950 (OT} Models
Lowering the PTO clutch lever will engage the PTO clutch
causing the PTO to turn if the PTO gear shift lever is in the
"LIVE PTO position. Raising the PTO clutch lever will
disengage the PTO clutch thus stopping the PTO from
turning.
(1) Suddenly engaging the PTO clutch can damage the
implement shear pin and the PTO shaft knuckle.
(2) Do not leave the PTO clutch con~rol lever in a "slip-
ping" state. This can cause clutch damage.
(3) To protect both the tractor and implement, engage
the PTO clutch after slowing down the engine.

• PTO Shaft
[6950 (OT), 7950 (OT) Models: Option]
By interchanging the PTO shafts, two different PTO shaft
speeds can be obtained.

IMPORTANT:
• When not using the PTO for extended periods, shift
gear shift lever to "N" position and PTO clutch control
lever to "ON" position. This is necessary to preserve life
of PTO clutch bearing and spring tension.

I 7. HYDRAULIC UNIT
The hydraulic unit consists of the lifting system which
includes the hydraulic cylinder, control valve, engine driven
hydraulic pump and hydraulic lines.
• Draft Control Lever
• Operation
The draft control lever and position control lever controls
the 3-point hitch in the following manner.
• Position Control
This will control the working depth of three-point imple-
ments regardless of the amount of pull required.
Place the draft control lever in the lowest position and set
the implement working depth with the position control
lever.

• Position Control Lever

• Draft Cqntrol
This will control the pull of the three-point implement. As
the load on the three-point hitch changes due to various soil
conditions, the draft control system automatically responds
to these changes by either raising or lowering the imple-
ments slightly to maintain a constant pull.
Place the position control lever in the lowest position and
set the implement pull with the draft control lever.
 26

• Mixed Control • 3-Point Lowering Speed Knob

In draft control, when draft decreases, the implement The lowering speed of the 3-point hitch can be controled

ment is sometimes lowered too much. To limit the degree
the implement can be lowered, thus increasing working
efficiency and achieving good results, position control
can be added.
Set position control lever at the lowest working depth
desired for the implement. Lower the draft control lever to
the point where the implement is at the desired depth.

CAUTION:
• To fast of lowering speed may cause damage
or injury. Lowering speed of implement
should be adjusted to 2 or more seconds.

• Auxiliary Control Lever

• Float Control
This will allow implements with a gauge wheels to move
freely up and down and follow the ground contour.
Set both draft control lever and position control lever in
their lowest positions. Implement can be raised by use of
the position control lever.
The auxiliary control lever directs pressurized oil flow to
the implement hydraulic system.
There are three types of auxiliary valves available:
• Valve with detents and self-cancelling:
This valve may be placed in raise or lower detent and
released. The lever will stay in this position until cylin-
der reaches end of its stroke. Then it will automatically
return to neutral.
• Valve with float:
This valve may be placed all the way forward in the
float detent and released. The cylinder is free to extend
or retract, letting implement follow the ground.
• Valve without detents:
This valve requires manual operation to raise or lower an
implement. Move the lever up or down and hold. This
will raise or lower the implement. Lever will return to
neutral when released.
Note:
• Outer control valve is equipped with auxiliary control
valve selector knob.

• Ballast (2) Select Rear Ballast Carefully

(1) Selecting Front Ballast
Add weight to front end if needed for stability. Heavy
pulling and heavy rear mounted implements tend to
lift front wheels. Add enough ballast to maintain
steering control and prevent tip over. Remove weight
where it is no longer needed. Front weights are available
from your KUBOTA Dealer. Your dealer can help you
decide how much is required for your particular
application.
CAUTION:
• Additional ballast may be needed for trans-
porting heavy integral implements. When
implement is raised, drive slowly over.rough
ground, regardless of how much ballast is
used.
Add weight to rear wheels if needed to improve trac-
tion or for stability. Amount of rear ballast should be
matched to job and ballast should be removed when
it is not needed. Rear wheel weights are available or
liquid may be added to the tires. Consult your KUBOTA
Dealer for the correct ballasting necessary for your
particular application.
(2-1) Using Liquid Weight In Rear Tires
Water and calcium chloride solution provides safe
economical ballast. Used properly, it will not damage
tires, tubes or rims. The addition of calcium chloride
is recommended to prevent the water from freezing.
Use of this method of weighting the wheels has the full
approval of the tire companies. See your tire dealer for
this service. Do not fill any tire more than 75% full (to
valve stem level).

I 9. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Pre-Start Checks
Prior to starting the engine, make pre-start checks according
to the Maintenance Check List on page 41.
CAUTION:
• To avoid the danger of exhaust fume poison-
ing, do not operate the engine in a closed
building without proper ventilation.
9.1 OPERATING THE ENGINE
h CAUTION:
.. • To avoid the danger of exhaust fume poison-
ing, do not operate the engine in a closed
building without proper ventilation.
• Starting
IMPORTANT:
• When starting the engine after long storage (of more
than three months), first pull the engine stop knob and
then activate the starter for about ten seconds to allow
oil to reach every engine part.
( 1) Sit on the operator's seat.
(2) Place the main gear shift lever in the -nneutral" position.
(3) Push in the engine stop knob.
(4) Pull the hand throttle halfway down.
(5) Fully depress the clutch pedal. (The safety switch turns
on.)
(6) Insert the key into the key switch, and turn it to
"ON".
(7) Check to see that all the lights on the Easy Checker are
on.
(8) Turn the key to "Preheat" and keep it there for about
15 seconds for warm-up.
Note: This is not necessary if the engine is warm
enough.
(9) Turn the key switch to the start position and the
starter will turn and the engine should start.
(10) Check to see that all the lights on the Easy Checker are
off. [With the 6950 (DT), 7950 (DT), 8950 (DT)
Models, the brake light goes off after the parking brake
is released.]
IMPORT ANTS:
{1) Do not turn the key switch to start position while the
engine is running.
(2) When the temperature is below 0°C (32°F), place the
main gear shift lever in the neutral position and keep
the engine at medium speed to warm up the lubricant
of engine and transmission at least 10 minutes.
If the tractor is operated before the lubricant of engine
and transmission is warm enough, the tractor life will
be shortened.
(3) Do not operate the tractor under full load condition
until it is sufficiently warmed up.
(4) Do not use starting fluid or ether.
(5) Do not leave your tractor in the rain. If it cannot be
avoided, cover the muffler pipe to prevent rain drops
from entering.
• Starting Engine in the Low Temperature Range
If the ambient temperature is below 0°C (32°F) and the
engine is very cold, start it in the following manner:
Take steps (1) through (7) above; in step (4), pull the
hand throttle all the way down.
(8) Turn the key to "Preheat" and keep it there for about
30 seconds.
(9) Turn the key ..,ilNitch to the start position an.d the
engine should start.
(If the engine fails to start after 20 seconds, turn off
the key switch for 30 seconds. Then repeat steps (8)
and (9). To protect the battery and the starter, make
sure that the starter is not continuously turned for
more than 30 seconds.)
• Stopping the Engine
(1) After slowing the engine, turn the key switch to
"OFF" or pull the engine stop knob untill the engine
comes to a complete stop.
(2) Pull the key out of switch.

A
CAUTION:
. . • Be sure to apply the parking brake during
warm-up.

• Warm-Up and Transmission Oil in the Low

Temperature Range
M series tractors employ a hydraulic clutch. Hydraulic oil
serves as transmission oil, too. In cold weather, the oil may
be cold with increased viscosity. This can cause delayed
oil circulation or abnormally low hydraulic pressure for
some time after engine start-up. This in turn can result in
trouble in the hydraulic system or damaged hydraulic
clutch. To pre.vent the above, observe the following instruc-
tions: (2) Raise the implement
(1) Warm up the engine while referring to the table below: (3) Depress the clutch pedal, and shift the main, and range
gear shift levers to the desired speed.

temperature is below 0° C (32° F). • Do not operate the tractor with your foot resting on
the clutch pedal.
(4) For road travel, start the tractor at the tenth gear, and
then change to the twelfth. It will prolong the clutch
service life.

CAUTIONS:
A (1) Sudden release of the clutch may cause the
tractor to dash forward.
(2) To help assure straight line stops when
driving at transport speeds, lock the brake
pedals together. Uneven braking at road
speeds could cause the tractor to roll, over.
(3) Do not allow any person other than the
driver to ride on the tractor.
(4) Do not drive the tractor close to the edges of
ditches or banks which may collapse under
the weight of the tractor, especially when
the ground is loose or wet.
37
(5) Always back up when going up a steep slope.
Driving forward could cause the tractor to
tip over backward. Stay off hills and slopes
too steep for safe operation.
(6) If descending a slope, never disengage the
clutch or shift levers to neutral. Doing so
could cause the tractor to speed up out of
control.
(7) Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS) with
a seat belt is recommended by Kubota in
most applications.
(8) Do not apply the differential lock while
traveling at road speeds. Doing so could
cause the tractor to swerve out of control.
(9) When traveling on road with 3-point imple-
ment attached, be sure to have sufficient
front weight on the tractor to increase
steering stability.
• Stopping
(1) Slow down the engine.
(2) Step on the clutch and brake pedal.
(3) After the tractor has stopped. disengage the PTO.
lower the implement. shift the transmission to neutral.
release the clutch pedal. pull the hand brake to apply
the parking brake.
• Parking
( 1) When parking, be sure to set the parking brake.
(2) Before getting off the tractor, disengage the PTO.
lower all implements. place all control levers in their
neutral positions. set the parking brake. stop the
engine and remove the key.
F-2801
(3) If it is necessary to park on an incline. be sure to
chock the wheels to prevent accidental rolling of the
machine.
CAUTION:
To avoid personal injury:
• Always set the parking brake and stop the
engine before leaving the tractor seat:
• Directions for Operating Brake
{6950 (OT), 7950 (OT), 8950 (OT) Models]
Before moving the tractor, be sure to lightly press the
brake pedals down a few times. This is to check to see that
air is expelled from the brake oil lines.
• Directions for Use of Power Steering
(1) Power steering is activated only while the engine is
running. Slow engine speeds make the steering wheel a
little heavy to handle. While the engine is stopped, the
tractor functions in the same manner as other ones
without power steering.
(2) When the steering wheel is turned all the way to the
stop, the relief valve is activated. Do not hold the
steering wheel in this position for a long period of
time.
(3) Avoid turning the steering wheel while the tractor is
stopped, or tires and rims may wear out sooner.
(4) The power steering mechanism makes the steering
wheel very easy to handle. Be careful when driving on
a road at high speeds.
IMPORTANT:
• Be sure to use· ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid,
Dextron-2) recommended by KUBOTA as the oil for
the power steering system (see page 60); never use any
other oil. Also make sure that the oil level reaches the
check port [2.82 (0.7gal.)]. Do not overfill.
• Differential Lo.s:k
Though very useful when used properly, the differential
lock is very dangerous if misused, and may cause break-
down.
Use the differential lock in the following cases:
( 1) If one wheel is caught in mud and the tractor cannot
go forward.
(2) If the wheels slip during plowing operation.
CAUTIONS:
(1) When using the differential lock, always slow
down the engine.
(2) The differential lock automatically releases
when the pedal is released. If this does not
happen, lightly step on the brake pedals
alternately, or turn the steering wheel.
(3) Always disengage the differential lock before
turning the tractor. It is very dangerous not
to do so.
(4) Do not engage differential lock while one
wheel is spinning and the other is completely
stopped.

9.3 PULLING
A CAUTION:
• Never pull from the top link, thi; rear axle or
any point above the drawbar. Doing so could
cause the tractor to tip over rearward caus-
ing personal injury.
For pulling, attach to the drawbar (fixed or
swinging type). Use the 3-point hitch only
with equipment designed for 3-point hitch
usage.

9.4 CHECK DURING DRIVING
While driving, make the following checks to see that all the
parts are functioning normally.
• Hydraulic System
If the pressure in the hydraulic suction line exceeds the
prescribed level, the warning light in the Easy Checker,
will come on indicating a clogged hydraulic oil filter.
Replace the hydraulic oil filter with a new one, and change
transmission oil if necessary.
• Battery
If the battery electrolyte drops close to the "LOW LEVEL"
mark, the warning light in the Easy Checker comes on. Add
distilled water. If the ammeter reads negative, check the
charging system.
• Air Cleaner
If the air cleaner is clogged, the corresponding warning light
in the Easy Checker comes on. Clean the air cleaner ele-
ment according to the instructions on page 51.
• Fuel
Be careful not to empty the fuel tank. Otherwise air may
enter the fuel system. Should this happen,. the system
should be bled (see page 43 Fuel system maintenance).
Refuel as soon as the warning light for low fuel level in the
Easy Checker comes on.
• Engine Oil Pressure Warning Light
The oil pressure warning light goes on if the oil pressure in
the engine goes below the prescribed level. If this should
happen during operation, and it does not go off even if the
engine is accelerated to more than 1000 rpm (16. 7 r/s),
immediately stop the engine, and check:
(1) The quantity of engine oil (see page 40, 45 Engine oil).
(2) The lubrication system (see page 45 to 46 Engine oil
filter).
• Brake [6950 (DT), 7950 (DT), 8950 (DT) Models]
(1) If the warning light comes on to indicate that the brake
oil is below the prescribed level, check to see that there
is no oil leak in the brake system, and add oil.
(2) Note that the above warning light comes on if the park-
ing brake lever is applied.

the PTO clutch lever in the off position for longer than
five minutes.
(3) When the PTO shaft is not in use, for example, while
travelling, put the PTO gear shift lever into neutral and
the PTO clutch lever in the horizontal position to stop
the PTO shaft rotation.

• Immediately Stop the Engine if:-

(1) The engine suddenly slows down or accelerates,
(2) Unusual noises suddenly appear,

I 13. STORAGE
CAUTIONS:
A ( 1) To avoid the danger of exhaust fume poison-
ing, do not operate the engine in a closed
building without proper ventilation.
(2) When storing, remove the key from the key
switch to avoid unauthorized persons from
operating the tractor and getting injured.
13.1 TRACTOR STORAGE
If you intend to store your tractor for an extended period
of time, follow the procedures outlined below. These pro-
cedures will insure that the tractor is ready to operate with
minimum preparation when it is removed from storage.
(1) Check the bolts and nuts for looseness, and tighten if
necessary.
(2) Apply grease or engine oil to the tractor parts where
rust collects easily.
(3) Detach the weights fr~m the tractor body.
(4) Inflate the tires to a pressure a little higher than usual.
(5) Change the engine oil and run the engine to circulate
oil throughout the engine block and internal moving
parts for about five minutes.
(6) Pull the engine stop knob all the way out.
(7) Drain and flush the cooling system.
(8) Keep the clutch disengaged. If the clutch is left engag-
ed for a long period of time, the clutch plate may rust,
making clutch disengagement impossible at the next
operation.
(9) Keep the PTO clutch lever at "OFF" position ("up"
position on M4950/M5950) when tractor is stored for
a long period of time.
(10) With all implements lowered to the ground, coat any
exposed hydraulic cylinder piston rods with grease.
( 11) Remove the battery from the tractor. Store the battery
following the battery storage procedures outlined in
the maintenance section of this manual.
58
( 12) Recharge the battery even while the tractor is in
storage. The battery discharges itself when not in use;
recharge once a month in summer, and every two
months in winter.
(13) Keep the tractor in a dry place where the tractor is safe
from rain. Cover the machine.
(14) Store the tractor indoors in a dry area that is protected
from sunlight and excessive heat. If the tractor must be
stored outdoors, cover it with a waterproof tarp.
Jack the tractor up and place blocks under the front
and rear axle so that all four tires are off the ground.
Keep the tires out of direct sunlight and extreme heat.
IMPORTANT:
• When washing the tractor, be sure to stop the engine. If
the engine cannot be stopped, be fully careful not to
allow water to get into the suction port of the air
cleaner. Water in the engine can cause trouble.
CAUTIONS:
A
( 1) Cover the tractor after the muffler and the
engine have cooled down.
(2) During storage do not leave the key switch
on.
13.2 REMOVING THE TRACTOR
FROM STORAGE
( 1) Check the tire air pressure and inflate the tires if they
are low.
(2) Jack the tractor up and remove the support blocks
from under the front and rear axle.
(3) Install the battery. Before installing the battery, be
sure it is fully charged.
(4) Check the fan belt tension.
(5) Check all fluid levels (engine oil, transmission/
hydraulic oil, engine coolant and any attached imple-
ments).
(6) Start the engine. Observe all gauges. If all gauges are
functioning properly and reading normal, move the
tractor outside. Once outside, park the tractor and let
the engine idle for at least five minutes. Shut the
engine off and walk around the tractor and make a
visual inspection looking for evidence of oil or water
leaks.
(7) With the engine fully warmed up, release the parking
brake and test the brakes for proper adjustment as
you move forward. Adjust the brakes as necessary.
