Hi Uisum

At the back of machine under the fuel tank unbolt that panel,and on top of the final drive housing there are two alloy upside down covers.I think three 9/16 af bolts in each,

one on the left and one on the right of the final drive.Under these you will see a threaded bar with lock nut just screw up or down to loosen or tighten steering pedals.

Keep checking height of pedals and do not over tighten or it will not release clutch first.It been 30 years since ive done one,but nothing changes on old cats

I just went through my pedals the other day, and i filmed it. There is another adjustment point for the clutches if you dig further into the machine, but i would just start with the linkages and that should do.

Hello. do you have a pdf manual?
You know the safety lever that allows you to enter the gears (accelerator side), the lever goes down by itself. Perhaps there is a spring that holds the mechanism?
Without pattern I can't understand.
thank you

There is allot more to adjust than just the linkage rods, there is the yolk arm links and the roller arm linkages for the clutch booster. The clearances vary according to serial numbers.

The rollers are adjusted with the rod linkage adjustments (green). The yolk linkage adjustments, at least on my machine, require the gas tank to be lifted (red). There are two plates on top the steering booster cover in the back that reveal the adjustment point.

This manual covers serial number:
57J1-up
64J1-9257
71J1-5831
85J1-10128
