FRONT WHEEL TOE-IN
Front wheel toe-in adjustments were made on your
tractor at the factory. Normally, the wheels maintain
their toe-in; however, an occasional check should be
made.
Checking Toe-In
To check toe-in:
1. With the front wheels in the straight ahead
position, mark the front of the wheels (not the
tires) at wheel hub height.
2. Measure and record the distance between the
front of the wheels at the marks, then push the
tractor forward or backward until the marks are at
wheel hub height on the rear of the wheel.
3. Measure and record the distance between the
marks at the rear of the wheels.
4. The difference between the dimensions re-
corded in step 2 and step 3 should give 0 mm-5
mm (0
″
-13/64
″
) toe-in. This means that the
distance between the marks on the wheels
should be 0 mm-5 mm (0
″
-13/64
″
) greater when
the marks are at the rear than at the front.
Adjusting Toe-In
If toe-in is not correct, adjust as follows:
1. Loosen the tie rod locknuts, 1.
2. Adjust the tie rod tube assembly, 2, as required
to give 0
″
-13/64
″
(0 mm-5 mm) toe-in.
3. After the correct toe-in is obtained, tighten the tie
rod locknuts.
