FRONT WHEEL TOE-IN
Front wheel toe-in adjustments on your tractor were
made at the factory. Normally, the wheels maintain
their toe-in however, an occasional check should be
made.
Checking 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 Figure 64.
2. Measure and record the distance between the
front of the wheels at the marks, then push
the tractor forward or backward until 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
recorded in Step 2 and 3 should give zero to
13/64-inch (0-5 mm) toe-in. The distance
between the marks on the wheels should be
zero to 1 3/64-inch (0-5 mm) greater when the
marks are at the rear than at the front.
5. If the toe-in is not correct, adjust as outlined
in the following procedure.
