Adjusting Front Wheel TOE-IN

•The length of the upper hitch link is normally determined by the design of each implement. To adjust the upper hitch link, loosen the lock- ing lever and turn the adjustment tube as shown in Figure 28. After the appropriate length is attained, tighten the locking lever. If correctly adjusted, the upper hitch link will be parallel or nearly parallel to the lower hitch links.

•Distance ‘A’ should be 0–0.5 cm less than distance ‘B’ if the toe-in is correct. If it is not, readjust the toe-in.

The front wheel toe-in is set at the factory and should maintain the proper setting. However, the toe-in should be checked periodically and readjusted if necessary.

CHECK THE TOE-IN AS FOLLOWS:

•Place the tractor on a level surface with the wheels in the straight ahead position.

•Place an easily visible mark on the center lines of both front tires at the horizontal center line of the wheel.

•Measure and record the distance ‘A’ between the two marks. See Figure 30.

•Roll the tractor forward or rearward until the marks are at the horizontal center line at the rear of the wheels. Measure and record the distance ‘B’ between the marks. See Figure 30.
