This draws the plunger into the center of the field,

overcoming a spring. A contact (C) at the end of the
plunger closes the circuit across the battery and starter
contact points permitting current flow from the battery

However, an accumulation of corrosion over a long
period can shorten the life of the battery. lt is therefore
important to keep battery terminals as clean as possi-

a short time. The condenser, by absorbing the surge
of high-voltage, dampens the tendency of current to The coil contains three basic parts: A primary
arc across the points. The condenser also allows the winding consisting of a few hundred turns of relative-
magnetic field to collapse rapidly which contributes to ly heavy wire, a secondary winding consisting of
high-voltage induced into the secondary windings. many thousand turns of very fine wire, and laminated
soft iron which serves to concentrate the magnetic
field. These three units are placed in the coil case
and immersed in oil. The coil cap with its necessary
attachments to the windings completes the entire
coil.
When the primary circuit is energized (breaker

points closed), a magnetic field is built up around
both the primary and secondary coils. When the pri-
mary circuit is de-energized (breaker points open),
the magnetic field collapses about the coils inducing
a voltage within both of the coils. The voltage devel-
oped within the primary coil is absorbed and dissipat-
ed by the condenser. The voltage developed within
the secondary coil (possible 25,000 volts or more) is
distributed to the spark plug for igniting the fuel-air
mixture within the cylinder.

GENERAL INFORMATION
The steering linkage consists of the steering gear
assembly, drag link, spindles and tie rod.
The steering gear has a 14:1 steering ratio. lt is a

cam and lever type steering gear, utilizing the cam
(D), lever arm (H), pivot botr (t) and tapered srud (J)
shown in Fig. 1.
The lever arm (H) is actuated whenever the cam is

rotated. This in turn, pulls or pushes the drag link
connected to the left steering spindle, turning the
wheels left or right.
The left and right-hand steering spindles are con-

nected by a tie rod (C, Fig. 2) to give equal move-
ment on both spindles.

LIFT LINKAGE
GENERAL INFORMATION
Manual Lift
The manual lift linkage, for the 200 Series Trac-
tors, normally doesn't require adiustment or service
other than lubrication.
lf parts become worn or damaged, they must be

replaced.
Connecting Link on 200 Tractors (Serial
No. 30,001-190,000)
lf correct lifting or lowering travel cannot be
achreved with attachment linkage, adjust the length
of the connecting link (E). This will change the travel
up or down on the manual lift.
The proper link length is 11.9 inches (302.3 mm)

from the center of each yoke.
Helper Spring Kit

The helper spring (H) is available for mounted
equipment such as the snow thrower, front blade, ro-
tary tiller, and integral hitch.

Depth Control
Proper adjustment of the depth control (l) allows
the mower or center blade to return to the same pre-
set height each time it is raised and lowered.
The depth control allows the operator to lock the

mower or center blade in the raised position while
using the manual lift lever to operate front- or rear-
mounted equipment.
NOTE: Front- or rear-mounted equipment cannot

be locked in the raised position with the depth control
knob.
