I aquired a 17.5 hp, 42" Troy built lawn tractor from my sister-in-law in part for helping her move. The mower looks similiar to this one, except for the location of the ignition switch (I think):
The only thing I have done so far is pump up one of the rear tires, start it, drove up some ramps into a box van (scary!!), unloaded it at my house then threw a tarp on it.
My only question is the parking brake lever. It has multiple (seven I think) settings. You push the lever either all the way up or all the way back while pressing the clutch/brake pedal which sets the parking brake.
My question is why are there seven setting for this lever? Sorry if that sounds like a dumb question. Like I said this move has been extensive so I was just thankful I was able to get it started into the van.
Does this lever also a serve as a speed setting? I had to adjust the throttle to control the mowers speed.
