ADJUSTING FRONT WHEEL 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.

READJUST THE TOE-IN AS FOLLOWS:

NOTE: The left ball joint and jam nut are left hand threaded.

Loosen the jam nuts at both the LH and RH ball joints. See Figure 31.

Slide an open-end wrench onto the flat area at either end of the tie rod and turn the tie rod as follows:

Rearward to shorten the tie rod and decrease the toe-in. See Figure 31.

Forward to lengthen the tie rod and increase the toe-in. See Figure 31.
