Transport Cylinder
A transport cylinder is included in the traction circuit to
reduce traction pump control arm movement when op-
erating in Hi speed (2WD). This reduced control arm
movement limits pump swash plate rotation to prevent
excessive transport speed. The transportcylinder is at-
tachedtothe forward, rightsideenginemount (Fig.66).
Disassembly (Fig. 66)
1. Park machine on a level surface, lower cutting
decks, stop engine, apply parking brake and remove
key from the ignition switch. Raise and support hood.
2. Topreventcontaminationofhydraulicsystemduring
removal, thoroughly clean exterior of pump assembly.
3. Read the General Precautions for Removing and
Installing Hydraulic System Components at the begin-
ning of the Service and Repairs section of this chapter.
4. Putadrainpanbelowthetransportcylinder.Remove
hydraulic hose from cylinder fitting. Put plugs in hose
and fitting to prevent contamination of the system.
5. Remove transport cylinder assembly from engine
mount. Locate and remove cylinder spacer from be-
tween transport cylinder and engine mount.
6. If cap screw is to be removed from piston, carefully
measure the distance from the piston to the end of the
cap screw before loosening the jam nut (Fig. 67). This
distance will be necessary for assembly.

Assembly (Fig. 66)
1. Lubricate all transport cylinder components with
clean hydraulic oil. Assemble transport cylinder and
install cylinder to engine mount using Figure 66 as a
guide.Make sure thatcylinderspacerisbetween trans-
port cylinder and engine mount.
2. Ifthe cap screw was removedfromthe piston, make
sure that distance from the piston to the end of the cap
screwisthesameasthedistancemeasuredbeforedis-
assembly (Fig. 67).
3. Remove plugs from hose and fitting. Install hose to
fitting on transport cylinder (see Hydraulic Hose and
Tube Installation in the General Information section of
this chapter).
