sent you a message ..I'm pretty sure your researched manual is the updated version as mine does not have the xs notation. The 7 to 10 thousandths should be the correct clearance for your '98 tractor. Thanks for the heads up, as I've not yet checked the clearance on my unit
I sent you another message sir.I don't have the expertise to e-mailing a complete wsm and at 80 years of age have 0 interest in learning new tricks with computers;, sorry; I can barely turn this thing on and off and am (very careful) where I go on it.
