X485 Service Manual

[Zebrafive]

Though a manual is a great thing to have, you may learn what you need to know from pulling the deck and inspecting the driveline. Does it want to lunge or is it the vibration really you are after? Roll the idler pulleys around to inspect for flat spots on them and the belt as well. A stick in the transaxle cooling fan will raise all kind of heck.

x485 is shaft drive not belt drive

Well I'm not being helpful at all!:laughing:

Do you know how to make adjustments to the pedals?

First make sure the pedals are free, no binding of the linkage.


Then I would adjust the neutral (only if tractor creeps without a pedal being pushed). There is a nut on the right side of the transaxle (key 20). Loosen it to turn the key 23, which is an eccentric.


To do the above adjustment, you have to have the rear wheels off the ground, free to turn, on jack stands. Jumper the seat switch, and have the engine idling. If the wheels are turning, loosen nut 20 and turn 23 until wheels stop rotating, then tighten nut 20

Yep, still have it. Pages 345 thru 348 address hydrostatic pedal control linkage adjustment. PM sent. Thks

Sorry, I do not.. so far have not had to contend with that problem.

May be a good time to get the service tech manual for your x485. Could be very cost effective if it saves but just one trip to the dealer.

Yeah I probably should have bought the manual but I like the electronic ones and don't have any issues now.
