Seat Adjustment - Troy-Bilt 60TP Manual Del Operador

If the tractor does not come to a complete stop when the
brake pedal is completely depressed, or if the tractor's
rear wheels can roll with the parking brake applied, the
brake is in need of adjustment. The brake disc can be
found on the right side of the transmission in the rear of
the tractor. Adjust if necessary as follows:
1. Looking at the transmission from the right side of the
tractor, locate the compression spring and brake disc.
See Figure 11.
2. Loosen, but do NOT remove, the hex nut found on the
right side of the brake assembly. See Figure 11.
3. Using a feeler gauge, set the gap between the brake
disc and the brake puck at .011".
4. Re-tighten the hex nut loosened earlier.

Seat Adjustment

WARNING: Before operating this
machine, make sure the seat is engaged
in the seat stop, stand behind the
machine and pull back on seat until fully
engaged into stop.
• To adjust the position of the seat on models equipped
with a seat adjustment lever, move the lever to the left
and slide the seat forward or rearward. See Figure
3 on page 10. Make sure seat is locked into position
before operating the tractor.
Steering Adjustment
If the tractor turns tighter in one direction than the other,
or if the ball joints are being replaced due to damage or
wear, the steering drag links may need to be adjusted.
Adjust the drag links so that equal lengths are threaded
into the ball joint on the left and right side:
1. Loosen the jam nut found on the drag link at the rear
of the ball joint. See Figure 12.
2. Remove hex nut on the top of ball joint. See Figure 12.
3. Thread the ball joint toward the jam nut to shorten the
drag link. Thread the ball joint away from the jam nut
to lengthen the drag link.
4. Replace hex nut and retighten the jam nut after proper
adjustment is achieved.
NOTE: Threading the ball joints too far onto the drag links
will cause the front tires to "toe-in" too far. Proper toe-in is
between 1/16" and 5/16".

Front tire toe-in can be measured as follows:
1. Place the steering wheel in position for straight
ahead travel.
2. In front of the axle, measure the distance horizontally
from the inside of the left rim to the inside of the right
rim. Note the distance.
3. Behind the axle, measure the distance horizontally
from the inside of the left rim to the inside of the right
rim. Note the distance.
4. The measurement taken in front of the axle should
be between 1/16" and 5/16" less than the measure-
ment taken behind the axle. Adjust if necessary.
