How do you adjust the variator clutch on a jd 214?

Answer 1

Here are general instructions

Place the variator in the 5th notch from the back or the 3rd notch from the front of the tractor. Under the variator lever on the right side of the tractor a two metal plugs. Pry out these plugs. Under one of the plugs is a bolt that takes a 3/4 socket wrench to loosen. Loosen the nut one or two turns. Disconnect the spark plug wire and then crank the engine until the left/clutch pedal raises all the way. Turn off the ignition key. Put the socket back on the bolt and while pushing down on it tighten the nut. Replace the plugs. Replace the plug wire. You should now have variator movement in the first five notches. The last two are for belt stretch. Roger
