Introduction
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 re-
move the dash panel insert.
The cruise control kit is designed to allow the tractor op-
erator to maintain a desired “foot free” forward speed
in areas where constant speed changes are not re-
quired. 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 im-
prove 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: Because of limited space between the ped-
al shaft plate and frame, it may be easier to install
the hex jam nut from the underside of the tractor.
Figure 8
• Pivot the rear of the cruise latch bracket downward
so that the bracket mounting holes align with the
holes of the drive shaft shield. Refer to Figure 8.
• Fully tighten the hex jam nut onto the special
screw. Then from beneath the right running board
carefully retighten the hex lock nut to reposition the
pedal shaft. Refer to Figure 5.
• While holding the cruise latch bracket tightly
against the magnet, secure the bracket with the
two hex tapp screws removed earlier. Refer to Fig-
ure 8.
• Hook the bent tab of the magnet (Ref. 2) into the
square hole of the pedal shaft plate and pivot the
magnet onto the special screw (See Figure 7).
Push the magnet onto the screw so that the bent
tab is behind the plate and retains the magnet on
the screw.
• Locate the unused two wire connector of the main
wire harness along the right side of the frame (See
Figure 9). Plug the two wires from the magnet into
the wire harness connector.

NOTE: Regardless of the method used, the indicator
light in the cruise switch will turn off when the cruise
control is disengaged. Simply depress the top of the
switch to re-engage the cruise control.
when operating the tractor with the
cruise control engaged. Use good judge-
ment and maintain a safe speed for the
conditions of operation.
Disengage the cruise control using one of the following
methods:
• Depress the brake pedal to disengage the cruise
control and stop the tractor.
NOTE: The cruise control feature can only be operat-
ed in the forward direction.
• Slowly depress the forward control pedal until the
desired speed is achieved.
• Depress the bottom of the cruise control switch to
disengage the cruise control.
• While holding the forward control pedal, depress
the top of cruise control switch to energize the
magnet and engage the cruise control. NOTE: The
light of the switch will illuminate to indicate the
switch has been depressed to the "ON" position.
NOTE: Although not recommended, depressing the
forward/reverse pedal to the reverse position will also
disengage the cruise control.
To change to the reverse direction when operating with
cruise control, use one of the recommended methods
to disengage the cruise control, then depress the re-
verse control pedal.
• If the cruise control has engaged, the forward con-
trol pedal will lock in the desired position, and the
tractor will maintain the same forward speed when
you remove your foot from the pedal.
• If you wish to increase the speed while the cruise
control is engaged, simply depress the forward
pedal further. It is not necessary to disengage and
re-engage the cruise control.
