Checking Front Wheel Toe-in
With the tractor on a level surface, check to make sure the
front wheel toe-in is between 1/8 and 1/4 in. For
instructions on adjusting toe-in, refer to Servicing the
Front Wheel Toe-in, page 27.
Ensuring that the Steering
Linkage is Centered
1.
With the tractor on a level surface, turn the steering
wheel fully to the left and check the clearance of the
left hand spindle stop to the stop on the front axle.
There should be a slight clearance between the stops
(Fig. 57).

Repeat for the right front tire in a right turn.
3.
If the stops on one side hit, and on the other side have
clearance, shorten the tie rod on the side that hits, and
equally lengthen the tie rod on the opposite side until
both sides have clearance.
4.
Check the toe-in adjustment.
Checking Tire Pressure
Check front and rear tire pressure. The correct front and
rear tire pressure is 20 psi (138 kPa).
